1-877-228-8183 virus

Hello Sheila,
We know it will be strange when you receiving these kinds of fake pop-ups and it cannot be detected by AVG.
These pop-ups could be because of some unwanted applications installed in your computer.
I request you to check in control panel if any unfamiliar or unwanted programs installed.
I also request you to check whether any weird extension is there in your browser.
Please refer this link to disable or delete the extensions in browser.

Thank you.

My husband was looking for information about red bell cows and went to www.landreport.com  for a story about a ranch that raises red bell cows.  A fake "blue screen of death" came up, along with a gray-box warning and an audio warning to call 1-877-228-8183 immediately. He had to hit the escape key over and over to get the window to close.  He ran a scan with AVG and found no viruses, no threats.  We are seeing a lot of sites selling programs to locate and delete this virus, but nothing on the AVG site.  Anyone else have experience with this?
