Another thing you can do is to use the Webroot virus scanner. It has an add-in for your browser that scans every page before it opens for known hacks. It probably would have detected that page the moment you attempted to open it and prevented it from opening.

NoScript is not going to help if you click a link to an unknown site and wind up on a page built by a hacker, unless you use it to turn Javascript completely off.

If you insist on clicking every interesting link you see on the internet, at least turn off Javascript first, and run a page scanner like Webroot.
