Resolved Question

Made a mistake. Advice appreciated

Mar 28, 2014 8:39AM PDT

Received an email and made the mistake of opening the attachment, even though I know that's the way they are executed. It said "Breaking News", and assumed they finally solved the Malaysian plane crash. As soon as I clicked on the link I saw the .php attached at the end of it. It started to open the original link, jumped to google for half a second and closed. Confident that whatever it was executed. Tried located the file to no avail and know it won't show up on any search I do based on my limited understanding in how they work. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it? What are my options?

Can send someone $20 on paypal if I can get this resolved.

This is what he sent. Believe it's disabled, yet don't open
