I've just posted this in Technology....but as it's the sort of thing that others may be affected by-I am putting it here also.

Dodgy Email

I have received what appears to be a questionable email from someone. It contained only a link,which when I first tried to open it,Google said it could not be done due to incomplete data. On the second attempt,I had a warning from my antivirus software that a threat had been blocked.
Is there anything else I need to do to make sure I've not been infected?
I am also worried as there were a number of other recipients -who I hope are not affected by this.

Dunno but for future reference, never open a suspicious email, especially if it has a attachment. If your antivirus picked it up then it's all probably OK

Wont your anti virus remove any threats, and you werent sucessful in opening it so it should be fine.
