With apologies to the people who had commented on today's post:  according to my computer AV, there was a Trojan somehow associated with the post, which attempted to execute when the cut was viewed.  I have no idea how this could happen, or if in fact it was a genuine threat rather than my AV being paranoid.  But I won't risk a threat to other people's computers.

I've deleted the post and re-posted, and my AV is not freaking out over the re-post.

I'd encourage everyone who viewed the earlier post to run an anti-virus scan of their machines, just in case.

And I'd be very grateful if the commenters would be willing to re-comment!


ETA:  I've been digging into the alarum, and I'm reasonably certain that it's a false alarm caused by my AV settings being set on Paranoia.  My own system scanned clean.  I will update again when I know more.

Once again, I'd entreat everyone whose comments were lost when I deleted the "Hellfire" post (aka Mac Gets a Bath) to please re-comment!

My scan came up clean, too. Better safe than sorry!

No viruses or bugses on my computer... just a large fragrant trout.
I don't think my virus protection can help get rid of it. *lol*
