If you didn't download anything, I wouldn't worry. That's a really dumb way to spread malware if it is though lol.

An IP grabber is different than a download link to a virus.
An IP grabber does literally one thing, it gets your IP address and shows the person who sent you the link what it is.

What they can do with the IP? ISP dox you, try to hack you, or just hit you offline. Chances are, since you didn't even know if it was a grabber or not, I don't feel you're in the position to bother someone enough to do one of those things. If he has your IP, oh well, I don't think much will come of it. Take it as a learning experience.
