Okay!

After many, many scans and a little Macguyvering, I think I have the virus and all associated files quarantined.

It only took me nearly 24 hours, but still. My browsers are running relatively smoothly now, all plugins are working, programs are loading, and Watari is tootling along as normal.

I did somehow lose all my bookmarks and plugin info in Firefox, but I can deal with that. I seem to have blanked completely on a couple of passwords - apparently I used different passwords for RW Valyn and CU Myre, wtf? - but those are easy enough to retrieve.

Hopefully this means crisis is over.

*crosses fingers*

Real updates coming later, when I'm sure my computer is okay.

Oh, ouch, I have heard horror stories about trying to revert to XP from Vistas. :/ I hate Vista, so much.

I have a friend who could do it, easy, but I STILL haven't made him the necklaces I promised from the LAST time he fixed my computer... ^^ In my defense, it turns out velvet ribbon is damned near impossible to find in stores, but I try not to be a mooch.

Also, tag to Tamaki! I am evil and laugh in anticipation of him discovering another of his PTSD triggers.

What color velvet ribbon do you need? I've got a ton.

Hahah, thanks!

Oh, huh. XD Dark green and dark red. Genius that I am, I bought velvet cloth and then found out that's not how you do it. (Luckily it's cheap when you're buying an 8th of a yard at a time!)

Okay, I know I have dark red, at least!
