Why didn't Avast catch this before it infected my computer?
I tried to look at a page for Costa Rican coffee called "Montana"
I first looked at their FB page, but when I followed the link to their website, suddenly a page popped up, with threatening voice and information, telling me that my machine had been attacked and to call some number within 5 minutes.
I did NOT call.
Instead, I turned off the computer and unplugged the modem.
Then I ran an Avast boot scan. It showed nothing.
When I ran a second Avast boot scan, it found and quarantined TTF:CVE - 2015 - 2426 [Exp1]
My questions now:
- Is my computer safe now?
- Why didn't Avast catch the TTF:CVE before I landed on the page that held it?
- Why didn't the first boot scan catch the virus?
- What else should I do now?
