Something odd, probably nasty but I can't find it!

    I happened yesterday to mistype an URL into firefox, I forgot to add .com after the site name, I was confronted by a porn related search site. I have run Spysweeper, Spybot S&D and AdAware, plus CWShredder, they show no problem, I intend to work through the spyware removal thread but was just wondering if anyone has any idea what it is that has got onto my system.
    What really worries me is that there have been no indications of an infection and had I not been such a lousy typist I wouldn't have discovered this problem.
    Thanks in advance.
