Where did I get the Win32/Agent.WRQ?

Those are one-day landing sites where victims are offered to download and install the free software, so-called bait e-mails and hacktools. Bait e-mails are a quite modern tactic in malware spreading – you get the e-mail that mimics some regular notifications about deliveries or bank service conditions shifts. Inside of the e-mail, there is an infected MS Office file, or a link which opens the exploit landing site.

Malicious email message. This one tricks you to open the phishing website.
Avoiding it looks fairly uncomplicated, but still requires tons of awareness. Malware can hide in various places, and it is better to prevent it even before it invades your PC than to trust in an anti-malware program. Simple cybersecurity knowledge is just an important thing in the modern-day world, even if your interaction with a computer remains on YouTube videos. That may keep you a lot of time and money which you would spend while looking for a fix guide.
