Just had one of those scary computer moments.

Opened a blog (Hamo's Backyard Missionary, over on the blogroll) and the page opened briefly before forwarding to one of those 'your computer may be infected - check now' pop ups. I carefully closed it without clicking yes and it opened a page that looked *just* like the security settings page of control panel and began performing a process.

Closing that page shut firefox too: I just hope I was in time to kill the download before it started, because sure as anything, that was malicious. Maybe I'll wander over there with the Linux box later and see what gives.
