Every shortened links when visited using Google chrome or Mozilla Firefox warns the visitor of Malware. Even the homepage of Bit.ly is marked as malicious by both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
URL Shortening services like bit.ly are commonly used by cyber criminals and spammers to spread malwares and spams. however this is not new but unfortunately for bit.ly, Google has gone on taken this harsh step which will deter users from visiting bit.ly sites.
Most of the times the malware warning like these are removed after few hours when someone from the team of webmasters takes proper action to remove the links which caused the website to be flagged as malicious. but this seems difficult way for bit.ly webmasters, because bit.ly is really full of “malicious links.”
However if it is very important for you to visit the link, you can still open the link, follow the steps:
On Google chrome, Open the link—> on the warning page —> click on “details” —> click “visit this unsafe site”.
On Mozilla Firefox, Open the link —> On the warning page —> Click on “Ignore this warning”
