I have been a subscriber to Avast Internet Security for a few years now. Recently I have repeatedly gotten the 877-767-5509 virus pop-up on my computer. You get a window and a recording saying call this number now. Your computer has been infected and to have it removed you need to call this number, etc. Just trying to get rid of the pop-up can be tricky for those inexperienced users. My question to you people is, how is Avast even letting this into my computer? Do I not have something set correctly? I had to use Spyhunter to get rid of this because your program certainly does not do it. Let me know if you need further information.
I am running Windows 7 on a Gateway 4300X Desktop QuadCore.
Program Version: 17.3.2291 (build 17.3.3443.0)
Virus Deifnitions: 170419-2
Number of definitions: 6.299.738
Thanks for any help you can be.
