Just received a phishing email attempt on my yahoo email account

[jonbam]

Hi


Just received a phishing email attempt on my yahoo email account.

It used a http://tinyurl.com/I have-removedthelink

The url redirected me to the following: Photo Screen Shot of Webpage

http://i1306.photobucket.com/albums/s579/jbaccrington/yahoohackattempt_zps848db2bb.jpg

I clicked on the tiny url link, is there a way to check if the web page had anything harmful on it? Or is it just a simple phishing attempt?

thanks

Jonathan

Most likely a simple Phishing attempt. Maybe run a virus scan just to be sure.

I'd run a malwarebytes scan on top of your normal virus checker.

The following pages appeared when I was away from my computer: http://i1306.photobucket.com/albums/s579/jbaccrington/dontrememebr_zpsa0a43125.jpg

I can't remember clicking on anything?

Can I post the tinyURL address for someone to check the webpage out for me?

Hi

I asked a guy on https://forums.malwarebytes.org/ and he said it was phishing & no malware was detected.

if you are getting pop ups then do a full scan and see what appears.

Malwarebytes scan options?

I am assuming "threat scan" is the fullest scan you can do??

Threat scan will do system folders and a few others, but for a full scan, do custom and include all ssd/hdd's.
