Sounds like a piggy back program on Google Adsense or something similar. The bad script is hidden in the closing tags of the page when you load it. Usually when that happens if you disconnect ASAP it doesn’t do anything. Don't try to X out either on some that triggers the download. Disconnect from the Internet and reboot. If your virus scan says you're clean the chances are good that is true.
Also keep your Windows security updates current. Many of these are older exploits and the patch in the Windows updates addresses them.

I think Redcloak has the most likely answer to what happened. I've had it happen to me on sites that Google uses Adsense and Analytics on.

THANK YOU, EVERYBODY! Y’all were so sure, I downloaded Malwarebytes and it found two “rogue installer” files that my regular internet security system had missed! I’m going to download it to my husband’s and my son’s PCs. THANK YOU!
