Windows 10: Is this a safe link?

Hi my friend got sent the orange and black website link by another friend, he had shortened the link so the first friend would open it in a lesson and not be suspicious of it, I just scanned the link on virus total as random things have been downloading themselves onto his laptop. The scan came up with "clean mx" from "comodo valkyrie verdict" as phishing, I can't find anything online about this and would appreciate some help <Link Removed Moderator> - thats the link also came up with "CRDF" from "ADMINUSlabs" but I googled it and apparently it's a false positive.idk what to put in

:)

 

New FF - passwords

Hi:

If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):

Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode | Firefox Help

• Please report back and let us know the outcome, as it will dictate the next steps.
• Also: please tell us what AV/AM/firewall programs are you running on this system?

Thanks,
MM
