Pretty sure you're safe.
Make sure to set up two-factor authentication on any bitcoin services. Also, Cryptsy for example stores my login information in a cookie by default, make sure to stop your browser from doing these things too.
Java apps to access cookies are commonplace also outside of Bitcoin.

chance of you mac getting infected by a drive-by exploit is almost 0
Runing ClamSav as we speak..
I do use Mac as admin in daily basis. Never thought of that but good point. I should establish a regular user account.
And no, it did not have me type anything, just forwarded to look-a-like website after running something for few seconds. Yes, thanks, it's been a good lesson.

My question is about nxtcoin hacker/malware but relates any similar situation. I received this link via personal message:
http:/ /coinsmag.orgfree.com/nxtchg_warning.html
Maybe a java program? Unfortunatelly I did click on it. I hope it is not a key logger or similar, reading browser history or anything...
Question: Should restarting computer and erasing browser cache be good enough precaution in this situation? I'm on os x.
Thanks in advance.

You can try scanning it with ClamXAV - the link should be on macupdate.com.
Do you run as a regular user not admin?
Did it have you type in an admin ID and password?
You are probably fine, but better to check.
