Sort of unrelated, my anti-virus program scanned at eight o'clock tonight. It said that a virus-like program changed my boot record and I was just searching for some information and ended up at a strange website with hundreds of popups. I thought nothing of it until I got the message that something changed my boot record.

So I selected for it to restore my boot record. About a minute after doing so, it hit me. I just finished installing Linux about two weeks ago and my anti-virus program hasn't scanned since then. I stopped what I was doing and restarted the computer, booting into linux. It says "kernal panic" and the lights on the keyboard start flashing. It stops loading at that point. I think I will have to reinstall Linux now. Haha
