Virus Alert
Virus Alert: Got a nefarious virus on Thursday night – if you're linking to a new page and instead of a Console Window you get a Windows Viewing screen that's a dark gray-blue in color and the (X) kill option is disabled, don't click on the kill button displayed on the screen. (Firefox on Windows XP-SP3.)

At least that's my best guess. I took the opportunity to go with Windows 10 on a new system today – total ticket $340.

Source: Got in under the radar of Norton Online which comes automatically with my ISP. Doesn't appear to be targeted or have anything to do with Rantburg. Was looking at several of those medical sites (re: ranitidine) and the Drudge Report at the time and with 6-10 Windows open, I would click on some sub-links that were displayed.
