Oh Scott!...I clicked that link listed by the first responder to this post, before it was gone. Someone on my friends list - not sure who - had posted the link twice yesterday, one after the other. All sorts of weird things have been happening during my browsing. I'll tell you if you're interested - don't want to bore you ;)

What did Brad do to fix the code - and what exactly did it do?

P.S. For one thing, my pages are spontaneously re-directed to http://www.liquid2k.com. They are a bunch of phreaks, I tell you!!!!

I'm all about finding out more!

I don't know exactly, I'm still tracking down what was done... I think support might be my next course of research.

from what I understand, it pretty much just posted the same meassage in the journal of whoever was logged on when you clicked it.

Thanks for the info :)

I'm not sure what the heck was going on with my browsing yesterday, but I MAY have contracted a variant of the JS_NOCLOSE.E worm. NON-destructive, thanks to the computer gods!

I keep my firewall and antivirus programs current and running at
all times, but I guess there has to be a first time for everything, eh?

I cleaned everything up, and so far, so good.

But as in all things, stay tuned!

Thanks for your help, Scott. You're a sweetie, I tell ya!
