Thanks for the info. . Never heard of a translator link. I guess I can google that. So many crazies out there sending out malware.I do not normally go to questionable sites. I am wondering what the link really is. This is the first time something like this has happened. No antivirus. Using linux. If I really cared I can boot from a flash drive and search but I do not care that much.
