i would at the very least change my password here. and any other place you use that password.

but if all you did was click the link and not enter any info you may be safe. do a full virus scan anyway, sometimes visiting a link is all it takes to get nailed with a virus.

I just click on link and not insert any info. I scan now and i have no virus.

Thanks for help.

First things first,please report that message to the moderator (there's an option to do so from your inbox)

Did you enter any of your credentials after opening that link ? If yes,you will need to immediately change your details otherwise just opening the link won't get your account hacked.If you're still very insecure about it,change your password.

If you didn't enter in any info, then, barring any major security issues with the forum or your browser, you're fine.
