It doesn't have to be porn sites that are highly risky with
viruses, there are many different sites out there and
genres of sites that can pose a common threat.

Anyway, what anti-virus software do you have installed?
I'd recommend grabbing a couple of the popular scanners
on the market and installing them on the computer if still
possible. Switch off your system restore, boot in to safe
mode and try running the standard scan and delete. This
takes care of quite a few viruses but if its serious, you'll
have to go a few steps further.
