I received a Hack Alert email that said to go to AVG Antivirus and go to Hack Alerts. Not trusting any link in an email, I came onto my computer, logged into AVG and now cannot find where Hack Alerts are located. How can I find the Hack Alerts that tell me which website might have been hacked/which password(s) needs to be changed?  Thanks.
