Well This is Odd

Google is telling me my computer "may" be sending out automated messages. I've run spybot search and destroy, and there were some resident bots... but it still won't let me onto my blog. However, it is letting me into my "compose" window. Let's see if it lets me publish...

Followup 1:44 PM- This is very strange. My compose mode is messy, and I can enter plain text, but nothing else. A minute ago, I got to my blog for the first time in 2 or 3 hours; my video clips and most pictures are gone. I'm suspicious that this is a continuation of the denial of service attacks yesterday.

I was fortunately offline the entire time the internet was funky, or at least I missed the worst of it.
