It may have been just a fluke too resulting from a script that runs on exit from the website you had visited.

If it happens again then look for and get rid of the Spyware as suggested by Bob.

Also, to close out the front window you can hit the Alt+F4 button. If you do it fast then you can get a head of the opening windows. If you hit it twice more then there are open windows then it will close out Explorer and shut down the PC the same as hitting Alt+Ctrl+delete.
