You can always click on any links, it doesn't matter. You need to login on their site, or download and run their program otherwise they can't get your password.

You're not entirely safe if you clicked the link. Phisher bots have recently started to give out VIRUS links, not phishing links. If you have an antivirus, then you're all fine. If not, then you have the risk of your computer having a keylogger virus in it.

You ARE able to receive viruses by simply entering a website. If done right, you can make somebody download something without any notice or any kind of confirmation. That's how most viruses spread.

It was supposed to be a "screenshot". I believe. He stated "Youre doing the same thing like this guy -"Link" .

That's so false, but it is important to be wary of private profile as they can SOMETIMES be phishers.
