The Worm Doesn't Turn

Well, the IT guy had all day yesterday to play with my computer and see if he could get rid of the nasty worm that's attached itself somewhere (it keeps moving), slowing my Internet activity to a crawl while it sends out malware and data mining files... but to no avail. The insidious thing still lives (Robin speculates that maybe it's from a company that creates pop-up problems so they can sell you the bug fixes), so until all the programs that are (naturally) unique to my computer can be gathered and put onto another machine, I'm stuck reading and posting molasses-like during working hours. Ah well, I should probably learn how to take it easier anyway, right?
