Is My PC Safe from viruses?

[simon]

Someone i know sent me some link on twitter about how someone was talking about me. I clicked it and bitly came up with a warning with the question link. It cant be validated. It might be spam or malicious. It gave me some tips on what to do. One of the tips was to close the browser. I did that. So am i safe from viruses and trojan's

Run a security/ Anti-virus scan and see what you get to be sure.

your safe if you didnt connect to the website so worry not

Never never never never NEVER open any link on Twitter Facebook and Google + If it mentions anyone talking about you, something about you in a video, news related things or something your friends did or saw. People can hack one account, send out a link for others to click, and everyone who clicks that link can then send out more of the same file without them even knowing. Always ask the person if they really sent that or if it is news related look it up yourself.

In your question , you didn't mention your Security Program . Have you run a scan recently ? Have you checked out a Free and Very Good Security Program Like Microsoft Security Essentials ? I would update your Security . Also ; lolmastr has a VERY GOOD point !

The first thing you should do is change your password. As long as your account is ok then you should be fine. There is a possibility that the goal of the link was to infect your computer or hack your account or both. So to be completely sure you could download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from their official site: http://www.malwarebytes.org/
This is a very good anti malware that is free and is very well known and works very well (I have it too). If you don't want to download anything then you could also just run a scan with your standard antivirus. The free version of malwarebytes doesn't collide with any other antivirus so you don't have to worry about that.
