When this happened to me, I contacted Malwarebytes, which I use (free) and one of their techies held my hand through the clean-up process. He was brilliant and never seemed to sleep.
Yeah, that's what I've done. I'm sure that the guys on the techie forum are great, but this looks like quite a bad infection ( it looks like a rootkit, which means unless you do it properly every time you get rid of it, it will come back, and also I think it is a backdoor trojan... normally, I'd just say FCUK and do a complete reinstall, from a clean disk... but I have 25,000 words of a novel whose backup no longer trust

Yeah, that's a good idea - I guess I will try that if the worst comes to the worst.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

If the pictures contribute to debunking McKeith's ghastly pseudoscience, then I'm in favour.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

To be honest, I always point out to dh that the puportedly wonderful lay lines in Glastonbury don't do much for the people that live there (though I like Glastonbury very much, it does have its fair share of occupants who look decidedly peaky). Same with health food shops: custoers and shopkeepers alile often look like a bit of eather would be too much to cope with. That said I also like health food shops.
Like Gillian McK I have a bit of a thing about, um, poop. Not other peoples but my pets: it true you can spot when something goes awry quite easily, but only because their diets are so stable.
the builders tody arned that they might not beable to keep the wall about the outdoor loo for the time beteen the wall coing down and when the ne loo goes in down stairs. They looked horrified when I didn't really mind. I suggestted I wouldn't even mind if it became sort of free standing in the new kitchen space and back hallway between building phases and I thought they were going to faint with horror!0 -

Of course, a correlation doesn't prove a causal relationship in a specific direction. I'm sure if you went into a hospital you'd see just as many peaky people as you do in Glastonbury or in healthfood shops. That doesn't mean that the hospital treatments are making people ill, or even that they're failing to make them better, just that hospitals are places where ill people go.
I don't have a problem with vegetarianism or healthfoods or poop-analysis or whatever (although I think ley lines are a load of piffle and colonic irrigation a highly unnatural thing for the "natural is always best" brigade to endorse) but I do have a problem with the way in which McKeith has promoted them with scientific sounding assertions based on no evidence whatsoever. Produce me a peer-reviewed double blind study with a decently large sample size, and I'll listen to you. Otherwise, admit that what you're saying is just your opinion, and don't try to make yourself look and sound like a medical doctor when you're not one.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

My DW's 51, and I prefer her to either of them. Case closed!

Well that would be me then!
Sorry i ticked the box for "no publicity" so you're not getting a pic. I can however assure you that it is not the outside that matters - my arteries are F*cked but they are nicely hidden, only the cardiac surgeon's embroidery visible on arm,leg and chest.0
