Since you already visited the site, it probably downloaded malware on to your PC.

I read the post that said you intend to take the computer in to have it scanned, etc. If you'd like to try to take care of it yourself first, download and install the free version of Malwarebytes at the link below and let it get rid of anything it finds.
