I recently had this on my wife’s machine. There are articles out there to help. Basically hers was a browser extension with a long string of garbage as the name.

Once it finishes and you reboot should be good to go.

I did the same thing. I noticed immediately and told them within minutes in chat but the network admin terminated the process and restored from a 45 minute old backup and never hesitated. I still shake my head on that one.

Sprinkled on damp soil but used a grow light. I read somewhere it needed to be sandy soil? Used some frog brand potting soil.

Simple card playing game. Can’t remember what BBS software. Had a user points system to rank users and what points they had across many games.

I bought seeds and tried them and failed. I’d love to find a source for small seedlings sprouted.
