Websites will often try to download adware/spyware to your computer. One good solution is to use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer to browse the web. It is a great browser and far less susceptible to these programs.

I have had the same thing happen too. There must be a "safe" site just to look up lyrics. My antivirus has caught the attempts.
