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.

It might be too late, but it's worth giving it a shot: MozBackup (http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/download.php) can help recover lost Firefox information for you and retrieve it upon a reinstall. Good luck! D:

Yeah, it's too late, sadly. Ah well, at least the only things I lost were online.
