I just re-published the news about virus found on facebook via clicking the link, let’s have a look how URL X-Ray could find the real link of one short URL.

I tested two links which I found they are spreading around facebook (see my featured image).

Here is after we use URL X-Ray, we could find the real URL inside:

x-ray-real-url-osify-cambodia

URL X-Ray result

 

After the real link we found, we need to find out ourselves does it safe to click on?

My suggestion, go on Google and search the link info if you are not clear. I’m sure these links in my example are not safe to click because its behavior is spamming.

And better on your firefox or Google Chrome, you should install WOT (Web Of Trust) plugin to learn more for each link you have found on the website, if it’s showing in red, please double thinking before clicking.

You can test more with URL X-Ray.
