I received a couple of comments on my blog this morning, so I thought I would answer them, as is my custom. Imagine my surprise when the virus software on my government computer boldly announced that there was a virus present. Thinking it to be some kind of mistake, I tried to log in again. Once again, I received warning of virus activity. I quickly closed the browser so as not to get a sternly worded advisory from the federal government IT services saying that I was accessing a forbidden site (not that I ever would, do I look like that kind of girl to you? Ok, there was this one time, in band camp….).
So….the rest of my day went swimmingly, aside from the fact that I didn’t dare access my blog and I felt like a crack-whore jonesing for a fix. I left work precisely at 4:30 pm, rare for me because I usually work until at least 5, donating time to the cause, don’t ya know (ok, making up for the time I’m piddling around on the internet during the day).
I did the usual after-work errands and hurried home to see what was up with my blog. I couldn’t see anything obvious and my virus scan didn’t pick anything up, so I consulted tech support (my son) who told me that the most likely culprit was the music video I had recently added to my site. He told me that some virus software can be set up to detect that type of activity. I removed the video and drove back to work to see if I got the same error message and I did not. To be honest, I think it’s a conservative conspiracy to increase productivity and limit free speech and I’m outraged!
