A friend sent me an email (or so I thought) with a link which I opened and then realized too late that the friend's email had been hacked and that my friend really didn't send the email. The link was to a Viagra site. What should I do and how can I tell if anything bad was downloaded on my computer? I have changed my email password and did a scan with Norton Internet Security which found nothing. Is that enough or should I do something else? By the way, I do not run as an Administrator. Also, there is no way I could have known that this was a hacked email; I didn't even think it was suspicious.

Malwarebytes found nothing either. So I guess I am ok. The hacked email, by the way, was not a Yahoo email, but an att.net email.
Thanks for your help.
Glad to hear back from you ....
Keep it that way!
