Out of curiosity, is the website going through some changes?
When I log in, I no longer have the links on the left-hand side as I did earlier today nor does it tell me if I have messages or not.
Just curious.

Got your email. I suspect your computer has been affected by Necromancy, and is no longer capable of connecting to the Weave... I mean, Web...
*cough*
Lemme look into it, and I'll respond to your email. No changes implemented, so it's not updates, etc.

Hi there!
Oh! Has anyone had problems with a redirect virus in Firefox? Lately, when I look something up on Google, it goes to a weird ad site. It seems like it's only started doing it since I've been here. Or possibly since I've been searching for Larp weapons on weird Canadian sites.
I wouldn't normally expect THIS site of passing weird virusy stuff, but it seems like it's only been recently. I can't think of any other sites that I might have been going to*.
Anyone else have this problem?
* and NO, I haven't, get your minds out of the gutter, pervs.

I deal with this a lot at work - check Firefox for an Add-On you didn't install yourself. The last time I saw this, it was a FF add-on that invited other viruses into your system...
I take security pretty seriously, because I care about my friends. I run weekly security audits on the site to check for hacks, viruses, etc, as well as run fairly comprehensive spam protection to stop spammers from getting into the site. I'm set to get alerts if Google finds anything bad on the site while indexing it, etc. - so far, we're clean.
This kind of thing happens a lot through ads on innocent sites - the attacker buys an ad slot, and hides the virus in the ad. When their ad comes up on the innocent website (outsourced to an ad agency)... BAM.
