Question Virus through pastebin?

[AngelWitch1986]

Yesterday i have opened a pastebin link i was sent, and once i did it also opened another link that closed itself immediately.
I have since then scanned my computer (with an expired demo of an antivirus) and it's all good, but still, if anyone here can verify, is this link safe? <<Link removed by moderator>>
It is a transcript from some interview.
The link that it opened is <<Link removed by moderator>>
Which, as my friend said, loaded an aliexpress page for him.
Do not click if you don't have any protection, as i am not yet sure whether there is any threat in this.
Maybe someone has a clue?

There are any number of free, current anti-virus applications. Same for malware scanners.

Windows Defender (comes with Win 10) and Malwarebytes (free) come immediately to mind.

I suggest scanning with this these. Remove all identified threats. After, you should be okay.

the description of pastebin reflects it is commonly for folks storing/sharing text /programming code...

Who knows what you might have opened and/or executed...(depends on your level of trust for what someone else claimed it was)
