If you got this when you opened a site, there is a good chance that your computer is not infected, instead what you may have seen is a bogus scan that informs you that your computer is infected. It does this to try to dupe people into installing malicious software.

To ensure that your computer is clean, run a full scan using your anti-virus program.
