I want my computer back! I want to run Vent without it repeatedly erroring out my mic so that no one can hear me! I want the guy looking at it to tell me what's wrong with it, and fix it. Now. (I need more than: "Your network traffic was much higher. Were you letting someone route through your network?" No, d**n it, and that would seem to be part of the problem, don't you think? I hate stupid questions.)
Patience is not my strong suit.

I greatly appreciate the offer. Hopefully, I'll be getting the machine back tomorrow or Friday - I think now it's just a point of matching schedules with the guy so I can pick it up. There *was* a trojan horse on it, which annoys the crap out of me, but it seems no permanent damage was done. There were some hidden taunting messages about the hacker's activities - seems like my machine was running invisible browsers among other things. (A phone call about repeated hits to my credit union personal login from anon sites was a first warning sign.) What a joy. I do have the satisfaction of knowing it wasn't my network and/or security setup, since we know how the machine was infected. That is being looked into...
