Maybe. I've been screwing with. building, etc 'puters for nearly 40 years now and I'd like to think I run a tight ship here. Just twice have I had a machine of mine pic up something malicious, and BOTH times it was because the malicious item was so fresh that anyone online and in the wrong place at the wrong time got hit (ie, millions of innocent people) and no, it wasn't pron sites or any other remotely high risk place, it was a matter of very bad luck. Live and learn, in this case run a second AV package and one from a Eurpoean based company, and this for a good reason.
***EDIT: and I had to do the second post because I messed up where I inserted my text, and could NOT go back and fix it via edit because my text was accidentally embedded in the quoted text. Can't add "first time" text below a quoted item via edit. You're right, my day is rather interesting and it's got a long list of action packed opportunity to present more fun before this even (finally) comes. :)
