Do I have a virus on my computer?

-Okay, so I clicked on a webstie. A pop up said I needed to type my computer account password for the website to perform an action on my computer (I'm guessing a download). I denied it, left the website, deleted internet history, and exited out. Then I used my Norton Anti-Virus scan and it said that it didn't find any viruses. There isn't anything wrong with my computer at all; it's not slower than usual, I haven't seen any unusual pop-ups. There's nothing. But I'm still worried? Could I have gotten a virus? Is it possible to get a virus without downloading anything?Hello, Jessie. You should be safe. If you want to, run a security scan with one of the following products: (All of these are safe and tested) List of free safe antivirus/Malware software:
