The picture of a winter solstice green man I naively got off of Google Images, (as of this posting, it is STILL there, on Google Images...just search 'Winter Solstice'...thar she blows! The culprit!) had some kind of virus, malware in it!

Earlier today I began to get a red warning page from my updated Norton Google God knows what. I got a big ol' red page telling me to back off...that there may be malware from surfervist.com or something. I went to the meta-forum and inquired what could be causing this, as it'd been going on a few times by then and yet, never gave me any problems before.

Read the rest here:

Basically, if you have visited this page before...you should take PeaceNikki's advice:

PeaceNikki:
"A virus scan will NOT clear up the BHO/redirect it installed.

It installed "searchqu". If you want to help people, direct them here: http://deletemalware.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-remove-searchqu-uninstall-guide.html"




I am really sorry and didn't mean to bring something like that to this community.
You should take Nikki's advice and see if you have that search engine 'thing' (BHO/redirect).
Sorry for any inconvenience. I feel like a heel. Beware google images and images from other sites.

Sorry.


And to think, it all started so innocently...

Please, post everything you got! I'm begging you. Do it for DU's collective intelligence.
Can't wait to see what gems you snazzy people have lurking in your stacks.

Here's most of my once mighty (...now pretty small) 'library':

That's it! That's my main shelf... the one by the bed where I do all my reading. All 15 minutes of it before I fall asleep! lol... sigh. I used to read so much. Anyhoo...pretty paltry ...some I haven't finished...some are on loan from the library...some I bought from the library bookstore...just a quick snapshot.... I'm going for 'quality over quantity'...some I wouldn't part with for $1,000.

I move a lot, or used to, want to again, so it's a concentrated collection.

Enough chit chat.
Please post some pics!

I'd love to see what you fine people have on your shelves.


Peace.



EDIT:
So anyways, it's online so be careful what ya post, esp if you're using a cellcam.
Make sure the GPS is off if you care about that kinda stuff. People may have to DL your pic and enlarge to see what titles you got!

That's kinda where I was going with this:
Like a 'Futher Reading' or Bibliography for the DU community, except in pics.
A way for people to share the titles of their library without having to list each and every book.
Whateverz! Maybe I'm being paranoid? Just be safe you guys.

Enjoy posting whatever you all feel like sharing. 'It's all good'...

Peace! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas people!
Love! Have a good one! Unity! Joy! Mazel tov! Etc.

No more green man of winter.

I hope ya rot, whoever was behind inserting malware
into such a harmless, wonderful image. =[ Booo!
