Lucky... and smart
Actually you're lucky and smart. One thing never to do is click on anything in those ads. In most of the any button you press - even "Cancel" does the same thing as saying "install me". Killing IE would of most likely helped as well.

Try changing your DNS to OpenDNS. They've blocked the Antivirus XP/2008/2009 sites - which helps.
