Rescanning...

alexpgpExperience has shown that deleting malware using applications like Ad-Aware or Spybot often do not eliminate particularly pesky critters, and the results of Googling "Hupigon13" suggested this was not going to be a simple critter to croak. So, I'm rescanning webster with Spybot and scanning MyBook with AVG (and thus, there is a downside to owning - and very nearly completely using - a 1-TB drive... the time required to scan for viruses!).
While waiting for the scans to complete, I slipped down to the Ace hardware store to see if they had Presto Part No. 9907, a sealing ring for a model 7-A pressure canner (mine is so old, the pressure gauge has the name of the National Pressure Cooker Company - now Presto, apparently - and the cover still has the old-style overpressure plug, which means I need to be particularly careful when using the unit).
They did have such an item, which means that the idea I had of canning some of those Hatch green chili peppers is feasible. (I suppose I could have also canned them in a boiling-water bath, but at 7800 feet, boiling water may not be hot enough, in my opinion.)
Another 8K words have marched in the door, which precluded my accepting an interpretation gig in California next week. Ah, well...
Spybot reports a successful rescan. Task Manager shows explorer.exe consuming about 1% of the CPU's cycles and making do with about 37 MB of memory, which sounds much more kosher. I will endeavor to return to work.
Cheers...
