Here's a description of the situation:
A couple weeks ago, I clicked on a picture in Google Images (of a PowerPoint template to be specific) that may have linked me to some sort of attack site. The site caused Firefox to freeze on me, and opened up a lot of pop ups and other windows that were minimized in my taskbar. Some of the windows had weird round icons on them that I had never seen before, so it didn't open a program or a website I was familiar with. I would have taken better note of them, but I was in a hurry and immediately forced quit several programs in task manager. All the windows disappeared, and everything seemed fine afterward.
Since then, I've run AVG Free 9.0, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (free), and Lavasoft's Ad-Aware (free), with no infections found. I haven't really had any other symptoms, except some occasional slowness of my computer, which happens every once in a while anyway. But, I'm concerned there could be something lurking in the background that these programs aren't detecting. I've been infected once by a trojan from Google Images (which was removed by AVG), but this attack seemed very similar. Basically, I want to be certain that there are no infections on my computer, and that it's not being compromised in any way. Can someone shed some light on this situation? Thanks!
