Google talk and AIM continue to work, though. https:// sites like gmail are still able to work, but http:// sites don't load. I have cleared the temporary files, but the problem persists. …

Not being particularly computer savvy -- even less savvy than me, and that's saying something -- she mistook the faked warning page for real, and proceeded to download some associated malware.
