Root Verizon Fascinate Root problem.

I'll probably get flamed for this, but I guess I deserve it.

So, I rooted my Fascinate a while ago, and it was right after the last firmware update with the broken Emergency Call button on the lockscreen. I didn't think much of it because I never use the password screen.

So all was fine, but then there was a patch for the Emergency Button, and I absent mindedly updated my phone. Now I'm blocked out of Superuser functions, and my phone is running extremely slow.

Is there anything I can do to "unroot" my phone, or root it again?

I followed instructions for a manual root with Windows 7 command prompt, which I found somewhere on AndroidCentral. It had instructions to unroot, but I can't remember where it was. Also, I don't think it would even work because it need SU access.
