Be careful of google searches

I thought I would warn people, I got a trojan when I was searching Casey Anthony, and I came across a page that had links to myspace pages, and there was a link there that I clicked, that took me to "pages now deleted, dating back to 2006". I clicked it, and it shut down my computer. It then keeps sending me a message that "windows has detected a virus, your computer is infected" click here to update your anti virus. Then it shuts down your computer. I have a laptop that I can use, but, its wrecked my desk top computer. We will have to reformat. I just wanted to warn people.
