Remember, that the Text in Bibtex-Entries is processed by LaTeX. The
underscore is a command to let the following sign be a subscript and only
works in the math environment (the blue Mathed in Lyx). $ toggles between
math and text and therefore TeX tried to correct you by inserting one
(BTW: this could be regarded as "Wordish" behaviour - correct the user
without asking - still you will be informed)
The solution is to escape the underscore: \_ instead of _.

There are styles, that have url as a citation type, however, if you stick to
the standard styles, misc will be a better choice than book. So how about
@misc{nielsen:2001,
title = {How to Conduct a Heuristic Evaluation},
author = {Nielsen, J.},
howpublished = {Retrieved March 23, 2001 from the World Wide Web
http://www.useit.com/papers/test\_u.html}
}
