On the surface I'd say you'll be fine, it's only if you downloaded and ran an installer that something would be running in the background. The pop up warning saying your Mac's infected is just a scam trying to get you to call a number and speak to a "technician".
You could always download malwarebytes anti malware for Mac and see if that shows anything. Regards Sam MacAmbulance Ltd.

When I went to highlight one that I wanted to copy, it turned out that the site was a scam because the whole page was actually one graphic which fired me off to a great many other pages. One of those pages said that my Mac had been infected and that I should follow their instructions to clear it. Of course I did not do that! I had to force quit Safari. When I reloaded Safari the same pages opened again. I think I have now managed to clear everything, but I am concerned that there is something lurking somewhere in the background. I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Thanks David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
