Here in NZ one of the largest email providers (Yahoo) was hit with a virus whereby peoples address books were used to send out an email that contained a malware infected web link. I received one of these emails and as it was from a contact I deal with regularly, opened the email and clicked on the link from my windows phone (7.5). This is something I wouldn't normally do and only did so because the email appeared to be from someone I know. I doubt win 7.5 users make for much of a target but I don't know enough about this sort of stuff to know if my phone has been compromised in any way?

Your phone will be fine, and will not be affected by this malware.
