The only way your computer is connected to his is that you both probably use the same IP address. Your housemate's computer may now have malware installed on it, or other problems.

As long as your computer hasn't gone through this same, ridiculous process, you should be fine, but your housemate fell for one of the oldest tricks in the book...
