Happy New Year, dear friends...er, happy Valentine's Day...er, gosh, look at that snow!. It's just that I kept finding new stories and got distracted. Anyway
( Read more... )
Thanks very much for the links. I haven't read any of those.
ETA: should add that after clicking on three of the links above (to Checkers and Paper Promises), a very nasty piece of ransomeware called Antivirus Soft installed itself on my computer and I spent all afternoon removing it.
I suspect I must have picked it up on one of those sites.
It wasn't a virus as such, just one of those annoying things that tries to scare you into buying some useless piece of software. It was pretty aggressive - official looking Windows-type boxes started popping up almost immediately telling me all these files were infected.
I knew there was something off about it, though, as the English wasn't quite right. Anyway, if your computer had it, I think you would know by now, so maybe it didn't come from any of those sites after all. It's just it happened right after I clicked on one of the links.
