It was not necessarily an email but that¡¯s what I concluded. In any event, if it was the email, it seems to have downloaded something - maybe I didn¡¯t stop the download in time.

There is a new threat that neither anti-viral and adware cannot detect. It is push notifications through a browser. The way to deal with that is to turn off push notifications is browser prefs, settings and extensions.
But this was an email not a push notification. So, delete the email and forget it.
The worst that you did was to possibly verify that your e-dress is active.
Don¡¯t open suspected spam emails. Just delete them. If you really think it might be real from known source, contact the source independently, without opening it. Like by phone. Otherwise delete it.
