Well, if you have an antivirus on your computer, your probably be ok. It was possible a virus contained in an email. To be safe, run a virus scan and spyware scan.
And don't do that again! Bad, bad, bad girl!

It wouldn't hurt to run your virus scan but,I'm doubting that gave it a virus...Just mark those type emails as Spam from now on.

yes, always do so when in doubt. also go to microtrends website for an online scan. if you have spyware software like adaware run it also. avg at grissoft has a trial of eweido spyware scanner that is pretty good.

if it was a Yahoo message they are scanned and virus free to begin with...........if some other e-mail you might have a virus, a tracking cookie or a million other crappy e-mail junk items ...........or nothing at all
If you are worried go ahead and scan your computer just in case
