I was staying at work late last night because there's tons to do for Schweser, and also things for MIV/Wipfli that I'm supposed to be doing. Around 21:00 I came to realize that the notices that Google Updater had crashed were not really about Google Updater (since I had by that point already deleted everything chrome-and-google updater-related), but that my computer was infected with a nasty rootkit. I spent until almost midnight running Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware over and over, which by now seems to have taken care of the problem. Some hints for ya:

• Download your AntiVirus software from download.cnet.com. This is a relatively reputable web site and if you download software only from it, you probably won't be inadvertently installing more malware.
• Your rootkit is very afraid of AV programs, and will try not to allow them or their installers to run. Sometimes renaming the executables helps. SUPERAntiSpyware seems to randomize the name of its main executable to try to get around this, but Malwarebytes' you need to rename on your own (I renamed it from "mbam.exe" to "gofloffy.exe". mbam.exe would immediately exit, while gofloffy.exe actually launched the program and managed to clean things out enough that I could run SUPERAntiSpyware).
• These programs will take a long time to scan through every file on your hard drive. To save time, delete directories full of garbage that you don't need before you run them.

Given that it was so late and I still had a lot of work to do before noon tomorrow (now today), I put on my long pants, grabbed YC's pillow, and went to sleep right here in my office.

I didn't sleep too well, mostly due to the hardness of the floor. On the bright side, this means I had lots of interesting dreams.

• EarthIT was layed out all different. I had a printer in my office that I was trying to get to print double-sided (since the main printer at EIT does that), but instead it only printed on every *other* sheet, and additionally, it printed out a big 'sticker' sheet for every print job. I figured the sticker sheets must come from some internal repository in the printer, and worried that it would quickly run out if I didn't figure out how to turn sticker cover printing off. I went to talk to Nick in his office early in the morning. He had some Andes chocolate mints that he never got around to eating, and I ate one.
• Something about either a parking garage, or a mountain. YC and I were walking back to our car that was parked there, I think. It was evening or early morning.
• Fizz and I were falling to earth from space. I think this was actually part of a video game we were working on (Junko, I guess). We were trying different things as we were falling, like jumping off a desk that was falling with us, or grabbing a tire swing on the way down, which must have been attached to a really tall tree.
• This part had something to do with Ghostbusters, and also seemed like the introduction to a video game. We were with a team of volunteers investigating some toxic blobs in a house. As we entered the house and started splitting up to look at different things, one guy told us that, should we find ourselves lost in parallel universes, we should use the Drake equation to find our way back. I couldn't figure out how the Drake equation would actually help one find anything, and decided it must have some philosophical meaning.
