I just feel awful that the link I pasted started this.  My feeling is she already had the virus or malware and it struck at the same time she was trying to prevent it. |
No it wasn't your link. Once you have certain viruses, they redirect your computer. Lets say you are trying to open one link, they redirect your computer to wherever they want, and many will even redirect you to a site that says you are infected and for a certain amount of money will fix your computer. They are scammers and don't fix your computer, but do charge you money. They can even redirect you to fake ebays or fake banks. You should always have a good virus protection on your computer, and keep it updated.
