Clicked on a Dropbox spoofed email - Want to check I've done all I can to protect myself

[QUOTE="hero27, post: 1120007, member: 121320"] Hi [USER=60030]@icotonev[/USER] I fully appreciate everyone's time and energy on this forum - But I'm just looking for opinions or dialogue rather than service help (such as downloading or installing anything). I won't be doing any of that I'm afraid. But, if you could read the post, and provide an opinion on if you think I've done enough to stay secure after a potential breach, that would be helpful. For instance, if TotalAV, Norton, and Bitdefender are top rated anti-virus programs, and I used all of them to scan my computer, and the results found nothing, is that a good sign that I'm okay? Balance of probabilities in your expert opinion? Changing passwords, and seeing no other activity so far suggests I'm safe? The download of a PDF file was an issue for me, but I'm unaware of any keylogging activities occurring, so deleting the file might have been enough? My concern is it took me two hours from the moment of clicking on a spoof email to carrying out protective solutions - I wonder if that's enough time to still be compromised without knowing it, even after changing passwords, etc. I appreciate any advice or opinion on these questions/matters. All the best, [/QUOTE]
