Getting hacked by extra characters in a youtube url ?

[zeal3]

help, im very paranoid about this because i was sent a youtube link which i entered and looked like youtube from this guy who i later learned to be a hacker. I scanned my computer using avg 2010, malabytes, and esoft but they all turned up blank. But i was told from a friend that the virus cant be found using anti virus programs. Is my friend messing with me or is this for real ?

Hey it is possible that somebody hacking your personal information by this link. Antivirus products did not able to find these kinds of hacking threats. In this case only the anti spyware software can help you to overcome this problem.
