Has anyone else had trouble with a virus that re-directs their browser to spam sites?
I keep doing searches in Google, and the search results reveal things like Wikipedia, or Snopes, the usual sites, depending on what I'm searching for. But then when I click those links, it's some kind of spammy, questionable site that scares me.
The only reason I ask is, becaause it only started happening since I started going to KR. The guy in the repair shop said that it might be some sites that I've been visiting.
And no ... I know what you're thinking. I haven't been to any weird porn sites.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

I take our site's security very seriously - there are weekly scans for malware, viruses, and hacks, and I am fanatic about applying security updates, sometimes TOO quickly...
If you need further help removing it, hit me up on Facebook chat, and I will try to help.

I'm at work now, and my laptop is at home. The more I think about it, I'm actually more worried now that it might be Calimacil, since most of the weird spam sites it's been taking me to were Canadian. [sings "Blame Canada"] I wonder if other Calimacil customers have had a problem. I often check KR and other LARP-related sites from work, too, and none of my work computers seem to have a problem.
Oh well, I figure it out. I may just have to get another virus cleaning.
Thank you, though!

PC of the Month
Rudolf and Dougal McMutton
Congratulations to both our winners for PC of the month! Rudolf the candy man got noticed in a big way this month. From his character development to his role-playing, Larry Wile really brings his PC to life. He is a perfect blend of subdued curiosity and clever banter with a great accent. Dougal McMutton is another smith who keeps pushing the RP envelope on how to play a perfect example of how to approach a role playing class. His smithing techniques and attention to detail continues to impress his fellow players and staff alike. Great job Doug!
