It’s what happens when you play with it too much

Tonight I spent a fair amount of time reading old posts, clicking on links to see if they still work, etc.  Eventually, I received this message from Google.  All of my clicking around my blog made me look like a virus. 

I had to switch to my work computer to make this post.  The error below isn't worth reading, but I'm putting it in the blog for the record.  

At least Google's not telling me I'll go blind for playing with my blog.
