I'm no expert. My guess is a worm. Denial of service. Don't go to that site again or let them scam you into "fixing" it, because it will go on and on and on. Is it still there when you turn your computer off and then turn it back on again? If so, you're going to have to get it cleaned and everything may need to be completely reloaded.
