I’m usually pretty smart about downloading stuff off the net. However, I was so excited to find this MP3 I’ve been looking for forever that I opened it too quickly. It must’ve built the filename dynamically from the search query string ’cause what opened…well, let’s just say it opened four very interesting browser windows, one of which was playing what looked like a weird farcical copy of the paris hilton sex tape. I didn’t really stick around to study it further as I’m now convinced that a bunch of spyware is on my machine. Dang. Dang dang dang.

Running ad-aware *and* the MS anti-spyware beta now…
