Welp I just finished finding out that just simply opening an email could infect your machine if there is a malicious script :'(. So now I’m here because I might have just done that. I opened an email sent by a friend to see that the only thing there was a link and the message “Hey”. I got no alerts and the scans from both Hitman Pro 64 (EWS) an MBAM (full scan) have shown negative so should I still be worried or did I just dodge a bullet :-?
Sorry I couldn’t help you any further on the other thread.

Be patient as the malware experts are assisting other users.
Thanks again essex. What is bootsat.dat? I saw that was changed 8 minutes before I downloaded OTL. I’m thinking it was me changing the block all inbound and outbound connections.
Thanks Polonus. Hey do you or Essexboy know where I could learn about Malware finding / removal? I want to someday be able to do the same thing you two do.
