Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes :

 

I accidentally clicked on a phishing email link which claims its from Apple. The link directed me to Youtube. 

 

How would I know if this has downloaded something on my PC ? 

 

Thanks in advance.

For your peace of mind, you can run Malwarebytes to look for suspicious items, and pretty much any antivirus company lets you download a trial of their products that works for 1 month.  I recommend Kaspersky antivirus.

Mystery is the source of all true science.

Browsers are sandboxed, you're probably fine. And if you didn't do something really stupid (like disabling UAC, for example) programs cannot run without your permission.

I didn't disable it.

I've run Malwarebytes already and it shows there's nothing. I have Norton 360 in my PC which I've used to do a quick scan and nothing has been detected.
