I have a macbook. I stupidly fell for a phishing email (that looked like it was from Wells Fargo). I downloaded and opened the attachment. I don't presently have virus protection, but that will change tomorrow. Should I be worried that I downloaded a virus or something equivalent. My computer hasn't slowed down, nor do I have pop ups. There aren't any symptoms of my computer being infected. Is there other action I should take besides installing a virus protection program? I really don't want problems from my stupid action.

This forum does not work with Mac computers, only with Microsoft Windows based systems.

The following forums have support for Macs, however I couldn't say whether that includes Malware removal support ...

.... The level of help at all the above forums is generally very good.

We are sorry we can not offer you assistance with this matter.
