Apparently I've been struck by some sort of virus...I'm attempting to work through it right now, but I'm afraid it my require alot of effort, so I may be down for a couple of days.
There's a small chance I might be able to get rid of it as I'm working on it, but it looks unlikely. :( If it turns out I need to take it in, I will definitely be out for a few days. Let's hope not! :)
Fingers crossed, it looks like I've managed to fix the problem. Apologies for the hasty post, but as I was writing it, it looked as though I was going to have no choice but to take it in. Luckily, I seem to be back online. Here's to hoping I've gotten everything.
*crosses fingers and toes*
Always better to post what might happen rather than leave us worrying :)
....so sayeth the momma...
I suggest two steps:
1. Download this:

And run it. That should already fix another lot of crap.
2. Download this:

Make a log and post it on a specialized forum. That'll make sure everything is alright and if not, they wil be able to tell you how to get rid of the last crap.
That should fix your issues.
