  A reader of my blog says that when she clicks on anything on my blog the following shows up for her “opening file widget_tweet_button dot html dot torrent” I myself don’t have this problem. She follows me via Blogger. And said that she’s has been getting this message for a couple of days. Is there a bug or something in my blog, or does she have a bug somewhere? Anybody else ever stumbled across this? I don’t have a twitter widget in my blog …

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It’s just started happening for me, too! But only when I access my blog via Chrome, I punched it up in Firefox and nothing happened. Is it something that made its way into the html?

  Ah sweet! Tried to look for an existing thread, but apparently I was blind, heh. Thanks!

  Since we have another thread with workarounds, and news that it was Twitter and not WordPress.com causing the issue, I’m going to close this thread.
