  This data is from July, wish they would update the data for the public, instead of giving old data out.

  I wonder what the readings are for Oct? They are telling the public, “Oh by the way, here were your levels months ago”
  Don’t you love it when Officials keep you up to date on your Country?

    Just to be clear, only the average Nagano readings are from July… Readings from the elementary school were taken on Sept. 28.

  A general (OT) note to all.

  I see a few people mentioning their browser’s are being attacked.

  This certainly seems to be going on. Not just ex-skf.. other fuku watching sites I’ve been to have issues.

  I strongly recommend you at least download, install, run, update, scan with malwarebytes.org and do it NOW! I can’t stress that enough.. you may think you’re safe but in fact you’re carrying a trojan.

  SCAN NOW !

  If you have been seriously compromised, you may have to reboot in ‘safe mode’ (press F8 when booting to see the options).

  One way to tell if you have big problems is when malwarebytes stops unexpectedly.

  You may need to make a copy to USB or CD, then run from that in ‘safe mode’

  Now the other tool that may save you from really heavy infection is TDDSsKiller from kaspersky.com

  If you have been around this circuit of fuku websites you are most likely infected. SCAN NOW!
