I clicked on a virus link, What to do now?

Well, i didn’t follow any links here, but i doubt that you’ve caught a persistent malware, a simple reboot will eliminate any non-persistent malware, which is the most probable kind that you might’ve caught.

The second problem can be is that this malware might’ve stolen some of your cookies of the sites that you’ve been logged into in the browser at the moment.

I recommend you after the reboot to go and purge the app that you clicked this link from, it’s probably browser, right? You should consider changing your passwords to the accounts that you’ve been logged into. Better do it on a reliable device that’s not been hacked. Changing your passwords never hurts.

Also you might want to scan your device with an antivirus for good measure. By the screenshots i assume you have an Android, then try Hypatia from F-Droid. But before scanning download and update signature databases and also check /system scanning.
