I am following on this question: What risks do I have now that I accidentaly opened a suspicious URL send to me by Skype?What risks do I have now that I accidentaly opened a suspicious URL send to me by Skype? Since I am new, I cannot comment on this thread hence the new question ... I also saw this threadthis thread and this onethis one but did not find an answer.

So, dumb me clicked on https://www.linkedin.com/slink?code=dZxV84r#16501=myskypeusername for whatever reason. Thing is, I did not get redirected to other websites but ended up on a linkedin page saying something like "Oops, this link is broken".

I ran several full system scans with Avast free and Malwarebytes free that found nothing fishy. Am I safe to assume that I was fortunate enough not to catch something ? If not, can you guys guide me through further tests ?

Many thanks, Oberom
