I can pretty well guarantee it wasn't from this site as I've been here numerous years as have many other members and none of us has gotten any malware from here-if we had we would have let others on here know for sure.
You should also try Trend Micro's house call-free "online scan" in addition to your normal anti-virus anti-malware program as NO anti-virus program is 100% in finding all problems.
The only 100% thing is to never connect to the World Wide Web. Edit:BIG ps-use Firefox for web browsing etc. and use addons for it like noscript to prevent things happening from sites you don't know.If you need more info for how to protect your computer just post on here for more info-we are a helpful community
Thanks for the info. Yes I'll try to contact my antivirus vendor as soon as possible, hopefully I can find some more info about what happened.

And yes I am pretty security conscious usually. I do use Firefox and I normally use adblock plus, but unfortunately it was disabled at the time. And I'll look into the other things you mentioned as well. =)
