Thank you for the update. It’s great that the cat is all right. I kid about it, but I hope that no one does anything untoward to the nutbag who did that to Lola. My wish for her to be fined and sentenced to community service still stands.
Thanks about the info about OV’s blog site. Salamander has a program that flags the trackers, beacons, adware, and malware from the sites she visits, and her software did show “25 beacons, trackers, and adware” at NorCal.
I’m praying for OV’s swift recovery. I have a similar problem, but it’s only in one finger and my collarbone, so it isn’t so debilitating, but it is very painful at times.

I appreciate the heads up about the site, but unless you are going to give up surfing the net, you will be at risk from such things.
But then please point me to a Newspaper website that does not have such added extras that we need to be prepared for. Which we should all have spy ware and virus software that basically reduces all those nuisance and potentially crippling bugs powerless.
I suggest that if adaware, beacons,and malware worry you that much, then it's time to upgrade your virus protectors, or quit reading any of a thousand articles posted to FR everyday.
As I said, point to me one Newspaper that has linked stories to FR that does not have such potentially hazardous encrypted software? Believe me, if you read anything from the major MSM newspapers, they ALL HAVE that much and more.
Sorry to be such a party pooper as to your worry, but I have never ever recieved and adaware, or any other mendacious virus of any sort from anywhere on the WEB. That is because I use protection. It is our friend, and it works every time it's tried. But unlike sex, I will use protection for the web, rather than practice abstinence.
