Verify hotmail account scam – how do I know if I’ve been hacked or given a virus?

11. September 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , , ,
I received the following email which I have since identified as a phishing scam. I was fooled, though, and clicked the link, which brought me to a white page saying 'No input file specified'

I didn't input any of my login details anywhere (I wasn't given the opportunity to), but does anyone know if by even clicking on this link I have received a virus or have been hacked or anything?

Thanks
