it means exactly what it says info (as in information) they are alot cheaper $1.99 USD compared to $9.99 USD (on sale)

The site you accessed is more than likely a 16 year old script kitty who thinks they are amazing hackers...

Whois Lookup - Domain Names Search, Registration, & Availability | Whois.net is the whois info

Should I be worried though?

Change your facebook info (IE password) and any passwords you may have used after visiting the site in question.
Normally these are Facebook hijackers.

Done and done.

If theres any mission critical data on that computer, best to backup to an external location. Scan the backup as well.

Check that you did not inadvertently 'like' the message/link and that you did not inadvertently allow a rogue application access to your Facebook account (both unlikely, if you did not click anything on the webpage).

These scams happen all the time. You should be cautious of everything you click and download, irrespective of where and who it comes from (friend's email, friend's instant message, friend's Facebook account, etc).

I didn't "Like" the the link, though I did click on something on the site to see if it was a real website in the first place. Nothing seemed to happen. And I don't think any apps were installed.

And 2 years ago I did click on a link my friend sent (though it was probably a hijacked account) and next thing i knew, my computer was going haywire.

I still recommend checking your recent messages.

crap, found it on my news feed.

I removed it immediately; no trace of it anywhere on my page. No suspicious activity to report today either. Things are running smoothly and no programs detected that are odd.

If nothing happened, or if I can't find anything from my antivirus/antispyware scanners, is there anything to be worried about?
