Should have know better!!!

Hi

Sorry for jumping straight in with a question,

I stupidly opened an email in my hotmail account I glanced at the email address and thought it was something else and proceeded to open it.

The email had no attachments but when I opened it there was one line of text reading "Our chance storm" it had no pictures just that line of text I shut it immediately.

Whats the chances of it being a virus, it was sent from an email account. I have done a system scan with McAfee which shows nothing

Thanks
James

Hi and welcome to TSF

If the scan was OK and you are not having problems, you are probably OK.
