possible security issue

I have phoned me yesterday by an Indian man who said he worked for microsoft and that my PC has been infected and he could fix it. stupidly, I followed his instructions which led me to a site called AMMYY.COM. After that I pressed the icon "Download for free" my security has blocked as it could be dangerous and then I realized it was a scam and quickly removed all boxes open on the screen. I do not download any software and my PC seems to be fine but could I still have infected just by being on their site. Any information would be appreciated.

It's a scam.  I'm glad you don't fall for it.  See the following links for more information:

Ammy.com is a legitimate program that is sometimes used by scammers for such purposes "illegal."

You suggest to look at the following and follow the suggestions in: http://ask-leo.com/i_got_a_call_from_microsoft_and_allowed_them_access_to_my_computer_what_do_i_do_now.html

Kind regards...
