Is it possible to get C++ to get a HTML File from the internet and then search it for particular details?

Yes.
You can use sockets or even a higher level API like WinINet depending on your needs.
Then of course parsing will be involved. There are HTML tools and libraries as well, like Lib

I will be using MFC with C++ in Visual Studio .NET? I wish to download the pages and then parse them. What is a socket? Where can i get information on these? What API can i use?
The WinInet API has MFC wrapper classes
CInternetSession
CHttpConnection
etc.
If you do a managed C++ project you can access the .NET libraries which will be somewhat simpler and probably have the HTML parsing built into them as well.
Go to msdn.microsoft.com if you don't have MSDN on CDROM and you will find all sorts of documentation for how to do almost anything in windows.
