FBI allegedly holding computers for ransom

So I'm assuming most of you know the virus I'm talking about. Maybe you've even ran into it. I just met my first today while watching Transformers 3 on Viooz.
The odd thing is, there wasn't 'no way to close it' and my machine is functioning just fine. I got an anti-virus that's supposed to b good at detecting these things and am scanning right now but haven't found anything yet. The question is, if my computer didn't lock and I was able to exit the browser window that displayed the message, is it really on my computer, or is the browser playing games with me?
I had a McAfee trial (30 days, or 90 days, or whatever) and it didn't find anything either. Should I worry, or did I escape the virus?
