Well, this is weird.

The first picture is a screenshot at 9:30 this morning, showing the results of the two previous scans. The same four files and registry keys as usual, one from the scheduled 2:20am scan, and the other from the 9:30am manual scan.

The second picture is for a scan I just made because I was suspicious, the computer suddenly seemed to be running better than it had been. I had done nothing but look at my favorite porn uhh, information sites on YouTube and I was impressed at how much worse the situation had become than even my Henny Penny the Sky Is Falling rants had predicted.

What could account for this turnaround? Will it be permanent? Do I need to do anything other than give myself a dope slap for being so careless in the first place?

First thing I am doing is cloning my (hopefully clean) system drive!

Curiouser and curiouser. And my name isn't even Alice.
