Trade them to a seperate account or to one of your friends who you trust, then later you can trade them back

Download and update Malware Bytes. Restart your PC in safe mode. Do a full scan of your PC with rootkit detection enabled. Then do a full scan of your PC with your antivirus of choice.

Assuming nothing is found, you should be safe. Please do not click phishing links in future, as they say, curiousity killed the cat.

Unless your laptop is what you clicked the link on, that should not be a problem.

Do the scan to be sure. On paper, cancelling the download should be enough, but this is not a situation you want to take chances with.
