I seem to have picked up a virus originating in the hit counter. That means I am going to have to go through and disable all hit counters, including the one on this page. I will be working from the newest books (Stray Kitten) through the oldest ones, and will get through them as soon as I can.

Sorry about this!

OK, I think I have it fixed. I had to modify or delete files on about 275 pages to do it. Some of the older stories had the counter directly on the story pages rather than the contents page, so that took a while.

I think I've found everything. If someone comes up with a working counter -- which will probably flash a virus warning if you have Avast! -- please let me know. If it is a story page, please include the chapter number if possible.

Again, sorry to have caused any problems with this.

Avast! is showing a virus warning for "http://simplehitcounter.com/hit.php?uid" in chapter 11 of Square One.

OK, fixed. Thanks! Must have missed that one in the rush somehow. Let me know if you find any others!
