Possible infection or hoax?

by peetree . Updated 17 years, 10 months ago

My neighbor recently resubcribed to AVG. Turned out that now when she opens IE and inputs the homepage address for her ISP she she receives a “a.blank” (without the quotes) and wont go any further.

Before I wrote to you I had her go and reset the homepage. This made no difference. She received the following:

“Warning – you are infected by this site! Please read our suggestions!

…protect your computer at Internet Explorer Antivirus.

…Or you can continue to visit this site at your own risk.”

the site where this message is at is http;//free-virusscan.com/stopbadware/

Thank for any constructive suggestions and/or remedies.
