I did not do an update or install software. My computer was on and I clicked on the Firefox icon to get to my home page and I got the Apache2Ubuntu Default Page instead. When I click on my home page icon or enter the https for my home page, only this notice from ubuntu appears. I might try setting a different page as my home page and see if that will hold. But I'm worried that I have been infected and don't want to make it worse.
