I ran TechTools/ fix permissions. FAIL.
I booted from the install DVD,
ran Disk Utility to fix permissions.
It said it fixed them.
I booted from the internal start-up disk,
asked TechTools to fix permissions.
It "fixed" many, many of them.
I conclude that somehow, my computer is sending inconsistent
instructions to itself.
I decide to re-install the OS,
and begin by backing everything up.
I turn off all the software except
SilverKeeper, the back-up utility
and Dashboard,
and Little Snitch running in the background.
Little Snich shows almost constant up-loading.
I start Activity Monitor, which shows me, not the system,
running FahCore_a2.exe
It shows four lines of FahCore_a2.exe
each using massive chunks of CPU, Real Memory, Virtual Memory,
and constant Network Activity in which the data out _always_exactly_
equals the data in.
Have I been hacked?

You might also try just booting from your install disk and repair
permissions using the Disk Utility.
While I'm here,
my computer has stopped using "Trash"
and tells me that [whatever] will be deleted immediately.
What's that about?
