"How can a trojan horse virus affect my iPhone? [...]I accidentally clicked a spam email. My friend analyzed the email and told me it’s a virus and asked me if my MS word is macro enabled. Upon searching google, I found the trojan horse virus. I am just a bit worried. Although when I clicked the link, I immediately exited it. I was not re-directed and I didn’t even saw what’s the link is about."

Thank you for that info.
You are fine.
There are no viruses for Macs. So you are fine. If you installed Security Software, then uninstall it, as it just gets in the way on a Mac.
Uninstall Security Software:
Any Security Software installed on your computer? If so, uninstall it. Use the Uninstaller for to do so, getting the Uninstaller directly from my Developer’s site, as getting it else where may result in Malware or Spyware being installed. If you are uncertain which to download, then as the Developer. What is it doing is running you through VPN (Virtual Private Network), and your location is seen elsewhere — perhaps a location that this site is inaccessible to.
On a Mac...
Scan your Mac for Malware:
Use MalwareBytes for Mac --- This is software that searches for malware/adware. So, scan with it and then remove what is found. Once removed, uninstall MalwareBytes for Mac. Then restart the Mac.

You're Fine:
The same goes for iPhones - there are no viruses for them. So, just let things be. :)
It cannot.
Your iPhone cannot get a virus there is a 99.9% chance it could get some new one but that is very rare and likely to happen.

No. Why do you ask? Is something seemingly not going as it should? If so, please provide what exactly is occurring.
It’a nor MAC.

I accidentally clicked the spam link on my Iphone’s email app, not on MAC or computer.
Thank you for clarifying!
