Hello World

          This morning, the Windows7 PC, the one that's not
          dying, slowed to a crawl.
          Uhoh!
          I opened up Task Manager, and there was the culprit.

          "TrustedInstaller.exe"
          Fuck me, that sounds BAD!!!

          A quick google informed me that Trusted Installer
          is in fact part of Windows Update, and it's
          absolutely taco trustable.

          FFSMicrosoft, could you have picked a slightly less
          virus-looking name for that?!
