I got caught that way too, after six years blogging here and four blogging elsewhere before that.

It turned out that I had some cute, free badges I uploaded to sidebar widgets from shaggyblogs.com & that site, apparently, caught malware.

Lesson learned: "free" isn't always the way to go!

Thanx for your speedy responses!

"Sylver - my anti-virus software is having a fit. It says your blog has something from shaggyblogs (?) on it that is known to have malware. How will I live without my Sylver Blaque fix!"

I have no idea what "shaggyblogs" is, but this message sounds as if it has malware? Should I be worried? How do I get it off my blog??

Thank you!
