Now I am mad. At Google.
Yesterday, I downloaded Google Screensaver from Google..
But first, Google wanted to install the 'Google updater' to facilitate the
download. This is not unusual, as a downloading program can help reduce
overhead on their servers, so I agreed. Then the fun starts!
System Restore rolled my system back 2 days and fixed the problem...
I also noticed there were 2 Microsoft updates during that period... so
Microsoft might have something to do with the printer queue breakdown.
I shall get some lunch, and try to get some REAL work accomplished today!
You should only be angry at yourself, as nothing was installed without
your permission. But I know it can sometimes be difficult to find all
the settings. Google Apps is a way to deploy Google services among
many employees. If you saw this installing, you made your mistake
before this point.
Google Apps was installed by Google Updater along with all the other Google
stuff... Google Updater was installed as a condition for installing Picasa
3. The updater should have asked, but did not. Immediately upon giving
permission to install the updater, it began installing everything

This is exactly why I have locked down all the computers at the
Senior Center. Users have nearly no permissions. I have all
browsers opening to Google's home
It probably just knew you already have updater installed, so it didn't
ask you again.
I just checked my main machine, and I have several Google products
like updater, Earth, Desktop Sidebar, Picasa 3, etc. installed, but no
Google Apps. So somewhere during the process I know it must have asked
me

I recently had a service call where printing was disabled after a
Patch Tuesday episode.
