Chromium browser started behaving weirdly !

[alienxx]

Today while I was checking my mail,I got fooled by an e-mail , I clicked some link and it took me to some ugly looking website and then suddenly my browser started behaving weirdly , my cursor was running here and there , all the files on desktop opened automatically, then chromium got closed,I was unable to click at all...then comp got shutdown automatically.

Now I am afraid that some malware or someting like that **** got into my computer,I am also afraid it might have stolen my password(using gmail)....
I heard ubuntu(using 10.10) doesn't get affected by viruses etc., but it did.
Please help me,currently it's working fine , I am able to write this post , but how to make sure nothing got into my computer, are there any antivirus programs for linux?

My only suggestion is to clear the cache/cookies/browsing history and see if that helps. If not open terminal and try:

sudo apt-get purge chromium-browser && sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

First of all, did you install Wine or running virtual box running with any of the Window OS?If not, then installed Bleachbit to clear all your browser cache , java cache, flash cache, etc. I am very sure it can easy resolved all your issue. Likewise i am very much look forward if you can forward or paste that ugly looking website link here and i will verify it for you.
