So I was just trying to visit a website earlier ( CastRoller - Find and enjoy the web's best Audio and Video) and instead I was met by an "Access Restricted" page.
Message: "This IP address appears to be infected with a virus and doing something like sending email spam. Learn more on Wikipedia.
You connect to the Internet through an IP address. You are seeing this message because your computer is likely infected with a virus. The best thing to do is to run an anti-virus scan, which will scan your computer for viruses and malware. If a virus or malware is found, anti-virus will clean the intrusion. Once your IP address is seen virus-free for 14 days, this alert will disappear."
I live in an apartment near my campus with two roommates. Internet here is provided. I ran both an MSE scan and a Malwarebyte's scan. Neither one of them detected anything. Is there something I'm overlooking, or is the website just suspect?
Thanks.

The site looks ok. Did you possibly click on an ad by mistake on that site?
Just to be safe I would recommend running both scans in safe mode also.
What program generated the 'message: "This IP address appears ..." ? -
Hey, so actually this issue applied to almost everyone at our apartment complex...
And a few hours later, everything is fine! Don't really know what happened, but thanks for the insight. -
their security certificate may have been out of date and in the process of renewing or just a false positive.
