My computer went to sleep. When I woke it up it was acting strangely. I launched Chrome and none of the pages loaded. It also wouldn't let me quit Chrome. And then Finder got in one of those never-ending loading loops so I couldn't click on restart. I finally held down the off key until it turned off, rebooted and started a scan.
It immediately found about a dozen redirect viruses (HTML:RedirME-inf[Tri] and JS:Redirector-Xl[Tri]). I stopped the scan (I'll run one on the whole computer overnight) and got rid of those and it seems to be okay. It may be a coincidence that I went to that TV watching site yesterday and I was infected today but I don't think I'll be going back.
I cleared out my entire history a couple of days ago because I was having problems with NYTimes.com (after it was done, I still couldn't open the story I was trying to finish reading, called back and learned it was in a section for Premium members only) so I had few enough cookies that I was able to delete all the strangers by hand.
Question: Why do virus protection programs always want to isolate the virus behind a wall or in a chest or whatever? Why not just delete them?

Good morning 
Computer virus? yuck. What a PIA. I think the virus scanners isolate them first, because every once in while they misidentify a regular program as a virus?

I suppose it's possible, but it depends I guess on what kinds of protection you have on your system. I'm running Norton internet security and Malarebytes Pro and my system's clean.
Oddly, if I do run into anything I usually get a notification that this or that was blocked due to suspicious behavior or known issues etc. I got no such warnings while on that site.
That site does have a lot of questionable buttons and links IMO, so if someone were to click on anything but the player itself or basic site navigation, I'd say anything goes.
Oh and one reason they don't delete is that sometimes viruses can infect files that are important to you. By quarantining them it protects the system but gives you a chance to have the file cleaned somehow to save the data.

This is a high-speed fly-by flavor announcement...
Key Lime is in The Fruit Basket.
Not Key Lime Pie, nor Key Lime Cheesecake... those are coming.
Just straight Key Lime.
Sybil says it tastes sorta like green Lifesavers/Lime Jello... like a fresh key lime.
