[sorry for the random subject lol <3] I am sure everyone has seen these random links, like from a site called "Bitly" or somewhere else. I'm not sure what they are, but I advise y'all to stay away from them as much as possible. They may be viruses, like a malware or a trojan horse. Again, PLEASE stay away from them & just report the answer. Stay aware of them, & do your research on these links if needed. STAY SAFE!!! :]
