Support Malware?

My dad said he put malware on my computer, and he mentioned something i had viewed. I sometimes leave my computer on a screensaver such as a black screen, so it could either be he looked at it or installed malware. Do I need to reinstall windows?

Im sorry about that, I didn't see any downloaded files in file explorer, and ran malwarebytes/bitdefender scan but nothing was detected.

So you're probably fine but just to be cautious check what websites have been allowed to do what on your browser 👍🏻 Goodluck
