Here is a bit of useful info.... I was reading the comments that were posted on my post to Tracy and I saw one whose screen name I did not recognize. It was Zulkijora. When I clicked on the profile it was described as GEOLOGY ALLEGHENY COUNTY BEDROCK. Here's the kicker! When I clicked on the comment, it started trying to download a version of "XP Antivirus" because my computer was "infected". Everything I did caused a new window to pop up asking if I was ready to download, do not close this window if you want to be PC clean, started automatically scanning my computer, etc.
I immediately called Amy, my personal computer guru, and told her that this was happening and it didn't seem on the up and up. She googled XP Antivirus and it explained that it is a bogus virus scan that loads 9 files that pretend to be viruses on your computer and cannot be removed without you buying their product to remove them. I KNEW IT WASN'T RIGHT! The windows shield didn't look right. It had the same colors but not the same shape. It was as if they were trying to look like Microsoft but not quite.
So, don't fall for any of that junk!!!

people suck. You should turn on word verification for commenting.
ok, thanks for the idea!
I saw that when I read your blog the other day. I thought it looked strange, with the comment being the same color and font as the name. I'm glad I didn't click it. I agree with Manda. People do suck.
