If you were sent a link to a website that you suspect may contain a computer virus, spyware, or other malicious files or program, I would suggest that you do not open the link and delete the message that it was sent to you in.

I would not trust the website, based on the domain name relating to downloading apps and the .ru extension, so I advise you not to open it if you have not done so already.

If you are ever sent a link to a website and you are unsure as to whether or not it is safe, I would suggest that you look it up using McAfee Site Advisor, which is free to use.

You can also install the McAfee Site Advisor plugin for your browser, so that you can have easier access to this kind of information.

(I already looked up this website's root domain name using McAfee Site Advisor and there is no information regarding its safety at this time.)

If you clicked on the link and suspect that your computer may have been infected with a computer virus or other malicious files or programs, I would suggest that you run both an antivirus scan, as well as an antispyware or antimalware scan.

If you need a free antivirus program, I would suggest that you try using Microsoft Security Essentials, which was created by Microsoft, and can be downloaded from the link below.

As for a free antimalware program, I would recommend that you try using MalwareBytes, which can be downloaded from the link below.

Just so you know, if you have more than one antivirus program installed on your computer at the same time, they may end up conflicting with each other, causing false-positives and potentially other issues.

Because of this, if you would like to try using a different antivirus program, such as MSE, you should first uninstall your current antivirus program.

However, it is alright to have both an antivirus program, as well as an antispyware or antimalware program installed on your computer at the same time, without any issues.

Additionally, perhaps you should try using either Mozilla FireFox or Google Chrome, both of which are safer than Internet Explorer and can both be customized with a variety of add-ons and themes. If you'd like to try using either of these browsers, you can download them from the links below.

Best of luck and I hope I helped you!
