I wonder if this forced download might have been a result of the 
Flash cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that was just written 
up in this week's edition of Brian Livingston's Windows Secrets 
newsletter?  According to the article, the XSS vulnerability lets
external systems take over your browser, which sounds like it
could include being redirected to a site that downloads an 
unwanted file. 
 
See the "top story" at http://windowssecrets.com/comp/080417/
for more information and some partial preventative measures you
can take.
