I got a virus while looking for a pizza dough recipe!
Damn. It was one of those fake security things and I didn't even click anything! I mean, I did click the links when I was looking for Mellow Mushroom's pizza dough, lol. I wonder why it would be attached to that?!

It's fixed, but dang, I had a scare there for a while. :)

1. I generally unplug the computer
when one of those nasties appears.

2. I picked up a nasty a couple of weeks ago and it took a couple of days to
figure out that the trojan horse had an achilles heel. I need to do a better job of keeping my Malwarebytes updates up to date, lol.
