Q: Virus
I actually got the phony virus to pop up and I let it scan it but after the san, I felt as if it was something fishy. I should've just exited out of it but now I'm super scared that since it scanned that it's going to go through my computer and take things.
I force quit out of Safari like you guys said but I'm still super scared. Is there anything I can do to know my personal stuff is safe?

It's not a virus ...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab then click: Remove All Website Data then quit and relaunch Safari.
Best way to avoid malware is to keep OS X up to date.
Open System Preferences > App Store > Check Now
If your Mac is running v10.11.x El Capitan, it has System Integrity > About System Integrity Protection on your Mac - Apple Support
