Those About.Blank jerks hijacked me when I went to a site trying to learn whether I might have a disease called impetigo. I typed "impetigo" into google. I think these sick-os they are the basest slime out there, trying to infect already sick people's computers with viruses. I hope they all rot in hell. And, I am certain they will. Prosecute them to the max.

Please advise when I can contribute to the effort to put these people in jail. They should be shot, but I am sure that won't happen.
