Description
.... Before I can do much here. One look at this image will tell you why. On top of all the other crap I'm dealing with at the moment....
It seems my main rendering machine (and the machine I do about 95% of my business stuff on) has been infected with a particularly nasty virus. It's called "Bundler:Win32/CandyOpen" and it has reduced the useful performance of this computer to something approximately equal to a brick. It's a paper-weight and not much else right now. I'm using one of the other machines to post this.
In researching this, it appears to be a pretty nasty thing to try and get rid of. I've found a couple videos on how to remove it, and will probably spend the rest of today fighting with it. It hides itself deep in the guts of Windows (10 in this case), and if you don't do everything just right, in the right order, pray to the right gods, and so on, so forth, the damn thing will just rise from the dead and re-infect the computer - back to square one. I'll fight with it today and maybe tomorrow, and if I can't seem to make any progress, I guess I'll just have to disconnect everything and drag the computer over to Microcenter and spend more $$$.
So... Thank You very much to whatever asshat sent me this gift for my birthday. If I knew where they lived, I'd probably get myself arrested for displaying my gratitude with a few pounds of C4....
Hope everyone is having a better week out there. Stay safe (and scan your computer often...)

Sad, but also cool news little brother!
If I were you, I'd strap the perp in a chair and force them to watch a certain Leonard Nimoy music video about hobbits, or to listen to the entirety of a certain William Shatner album from the same era.
Wow! That is one seriously vicious virus! Fingers crossed I can avoid it! 7 hours for something that shouldn't take over a couple minutes! Wow! Most distressing! I heart goes out to you along with some special positive vibrations that I hope will help you in your quest to clean up your computer and eradicate this malicious bug!
