I clicked on a link in a forum I use and shortly after other users started yelling at the guy for posting a bad site. Lo and behold, my computer has started locking up periodically when it never used to do that. I haven't noticed any other symptoms - no ads where there shouldn't be any or anything.
Thanks for taking a look at this!
