ummm
more than likely you downloaded something
or had spyware on your comp at already without you knowing
or opened up a email that had something in it
or you weren't behind any kind of firewall or router
Actally it came off a webpage. When you open a webpage you download the page and all the files it needs to your temporary internet folder. (More than likely you knew that) People can place files in this so it downloads them as well. Same with spyware. Usally though, the virus or spyware require some other way to be "extracted" or "activated" once its on your computer, so if you have good anti-virus, you can catch it before that happens.
Anyway norton picked up a virus just like that on my last full scan in my temp internet files and deleted it, but it wasn't there long enough to do anything. That and 1 spyware was found and deleted.
Anyway as long as you don't download just anything or click on any link you should be fine. I bet everyone knows that though. Wait, I do know a few people who never check what their downloading and they just go to any page what so-ever. If your one of those... QUIT IT!
