I received an email from my accountant this morning with an clickable document contained within the body of the message. This isn’t particularly unusual so I clicked it and it took me to a webpage thanking me for signing the document without any further info. Obviously, I was immediately doubtful and emailed my accountant who has replied saying he hadn’t sent it and it had been sent to everyone on his contact list. Presumably I now have an infected PC. Is there any way I can find out what it is? It wasn’t detected by AVG. A PITA for sure.
The accountant has since emailed confirming and asking everyone to just delete the email and apologies etc... Shame they can’t keep their system more secure!
Any advice gratefully received.
cheers

Oh dear oh dear ...
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
I’ll check it out. Thanks.
It’s annoying as I never open links etc unless it’s from a trusted source and not out of the ordinary, which this wasn’t.

Thanks @darthed1981
Windows (10) is up to date and I ran AVG and Malwarebytes (both free versions) this morning and neither found anything.
I didn't enter any info at all luckily. It was a DocuSign link with the logo and looked legit but when clicked, it just went to a webpage that thanked me for signing the document. I realised that it was probably a spoof page and closed the page.
I'll make some back ups of important files just in case.
