Q: My Avast just blocked HTML:Iframe-inf virus/worm, now what?

I was browsing with firefox just now, and I came upon a site (through google) I haven't visited in a long time, but which I tought was to be trusted.

So I clicked on the link through google, and the Avast scanner popped up stating the warning you see in the attachment (or the screenshot hosted on flickr it you fancy it: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2567/...986e49f8_o.jpg)

So my questions are:

- Avast said not to panic, by pressing 'Abort connection ' (Connectie afbreken) it would stop the virus before downloading the file to my computer (which i offcourse did).
Can i be confident that the file did not find it's way on to my computer?

- Second, it is a virus/worm? The file name (bestandsnaam) it blocked came from h**tp://netter.nl/mint/?js
Is mint not some software to analyse visitor statistics etc? Could this be a false alert?

First time i came upon this. Should i alert the webmaster?

Did this happen on a computer you were/are using at work or your home computer?

Please do not cross post at several forums - it just causes confusion and a waste of resources.
