Caught using website not related to work on my work computer

I work remotely and was watching a live stream of a golf event from a sketchy site on my work computer. I just got an email today from our security team that was sent to both me and my boss. It mentioned that I tried to access a malicious site. It even mentioned some coaching points my boss could provide me, which leads me to believe I won’t be fired. I’ve already taken some steps to troubleshoot my computer for viruses and cleared my cache and cookies. My question is, do you all think I should reply to the email apologizing and mentioning the troubleshooting I’ve done? Or should I wait until tomorrow when inevitably, my boss asked to meet with me at which point I can go over what I’ve done. I think replying to the email might be better but am not sure.
