    Dangerous Links: Did I just click on a malicious link?


    I may sound paranoid, but I know my personal information can be accessed by me just clicking on a link as this happened to me earlier in the year.

    Is there some kind of "online scanner" I can use to check if a link contains malicious intentions like if it wants to steal my password and username that I'm logged into on my other tabs in the same browser window?

    Thanks for any help!

    :)

    Accidentally click a phishing link, is it dangerous?

    Click on any unknown email is dangerous.

    Did you download any program or file or attachment?

    Did you submit any information?

    If you see any website associate with it and click on it, in Internet Explorer, you may click on Tools->Safety->Report unsafe website and report it.

    Try update your Anti-Virus software and run a full system scan with it.

    Thanks!

    I didn't know VirusTotal.com scan links? I thought it could only scan files?
