Most of you are aware my site was compromised Friday.
Our web person got rid of the infection, but there was a hidden trigger that set it off again Saturday. Now that, too, has been found and dealt with.
We will likely never know whether this was a malicious or random attack. But objectively speaking, our topic would be a magnet for ne’er do wells.
So goes the territory. Thanks for your patience and kind words of support.

Glad to have you back :)
It was probably Anon (uh-oh! How do I broke the Rules of the Internet?). They threatened to “shut down the internet” on Saturday. I heard they failed. :3
An unfortunate photo choice, given a certain recent event. ;)

Hans, it looks like the National Rifle Association concealed carry hoodie to me.
The color is the same.
Wink, wink, yourself.

Would this be the reason I got a malicious virus on my work computer after I read your site on Friday? I may have lost all of my computer files, and I had to have my machine replaced this morning.
Get a good anti-virus program. AVG makes a free version that works quite well. Make sure your firewalls are always up. Read dialogue boxes asking for permission to make changes before you allow them, and disallow unless you know why they popped. You should be able to mount your old hard drive externally and transfer your old files via USB. Another decent and free anti-virus fix is Windows Defender. It’s a good idea not to have 2 or more anti-virus programs running on the same machine at the same time, because they can interfere with one another (since anti-virus programs have special permissions and mess with suspicious system files, sometimes one anti-virus can think another is a virus itself, and they’ll actually “fight” and try to disable each other).
Also, 7 proxies. :3
I keep good anti-virus on my home computers, and I have good stuff here at work, too. In many, many years of computer-using, this is the first real virus I’ve ever gotten.
I have been having some problems getting corrections my sideways arrows to move on my computer since a couple of days ago. Wonder if it is related. I will run my anti-virus just in case.

Wondered what was going on…. I got the above notice on my computer. Never saw it before.
Yeah. My Norton told me they got in through java, which might have something to do with why the comments were screwed if they use a java app for the comments here.
My computer also crashed. Windows/Works/C drive still not working correctly. Loss lots on info.
