Mark,
     I can't say for certain, but it sounds as if the web page included a link which invoked the notorious QHOST "trojan horse". Do a web search on QHOST for details. The only concern you might have is whether the Web pages ostensibly devoted to removing and/or describing the QHOST trojan are in fact ruses which install the virus on your PC.
     Suffice it to say, the last few days have been an education for me.
     Best regards,
