Read about flash scams, great, but how do you undo these scams?

I have a couple of times inadvertently clicked and downloaded from these pop up scams thinking they were essential and genuine, I read the community blog on these scams but it does not tell you how to undo any damage done?

Any suggestions as to how to undo any damage?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
