startpage-cd trojan??

PC got loaded w/viruses yesterday morning while visiting an educational site where my 6 yr old was practicing w/coins. At least three programs downloaded themselves, and the craziest things started happening. In the end, all viruses were either healed or quarantined by my AVG anti-virus program. As a precaution, I also scanned w/online versions of symantec and McAfee. McAfee found another infected file with the virus name StartPage-cd, but when I clicked on the link, there was no information on this virus. I scanned the file w/AVG, and no virus was found. I tried search engines, but the only thing I can find is several variants of startpage as a trojan horse. None of them match the one McAfee found. Any suggestions?
