I'm being serious. I know little about this, but I was told it was a worm which can ping networked computers through their open connections if you are connected to a web site, even if you don't download or run anything. I may be totally wrong about this, in which case I certainly defer to those who understand these things (I don't change the oil in my car, either.) Not trying to spread a panic or anything. But the coincidence seemed worth a warning to people so those who know more about this can figure out if it's something or nothing.
