Hi
I got this link in an email from a friend. I thought because it was from a friend it was ok and I clicked on it.
Something came up on my screen and said checking for virus and trojans etc and then a box came up trying to get me to download it which I denied.
My free avira anti virus software came up defend.
I just want to know should I be worried.
Is this some sort of virus.
Many thanks for help
