or, rather, my computer's ass.

To make a very long story short -- received an email from a family doctor that appeared to be completely authentic; was even from the doc's correct email with his signature, address, phone number and title.  Email invited me to click on a "secure Google document", but when I did, Firefox had already flagged the website as being malicious.  Turns out that it was located in Dubai!

With this incident, I am now a lifelong Firefox user!
