Real question: what kind of website she visited to get such infection? It's quite uncommon (even though theoretically an existing risk pretty much everywhere, and probably even not that hard to do if you control a website)

reddit, imgur, news sites. It was via an ad delivered over an ad network, so who knows really.
How come the adblocker didn't block the ad network?
I blame the ad blocker / ad network arms race.
Sounds like the kind of thing that could get anybody, even a reasonably paranoid person.
