I was reading a health blog on Blogspot in Internet Explorer, which was a rare browser for me to use at the time--2013 or 2014--and I suspect the proprietor had unknowingly partnered with some unscrupulous entities for his embedded ad panel because when I came back my stuff was locked out by ransomware, including after restarting the computer. Fortunately, it wasn't so sophisticated that it transmitted any data or encrypted my files. I booted into Linux on a live USB and removed the relevant files, never used IE again, and installed Debian on my hard drive shortly thereafter which was my primary OS for a few years.
