I never do this and then I thought it was from a slightly different sender and accidentally clicked on the link, a blank web page came up. I shut down the computer. Now what should I do?
Eta Do I have to change every password saved on Google password manager?
If I keep this computer off for a week will that help?

If you didn’t enter any information after clicking the link, and didn’t download anything, then just close the tab and it should be ok.

Run a good virus scanner and see if anything comes up.

But just run a virus scan and hope that nothing happened. If something did, take it to a computer technician and explain what happened and hopefully they will be able to help you sort out the computer.

Yes, just clicking a link could download malware. Leaving your computer off won't help. You should always have antivirus running on your computer. Do a virus scan. Call a computer technician to check out your computer if you're not sure what to do.
