Some weeks ago, after an automatic Windows update, when I tried to open the Internet browser from my email, I was directed to something other than my regular browser. This concerned me at first, but I explored this, and it seemed to be okay. I do not do this often, but over time, I evidently do it more than I realize I do.
Thursday night, another automatic Windows update was occurring. I remember, because when I tried to sign onto the computer, I could not at first, and had to wait for some time. When I did finally get onto the computer, I had some trouble. I blamed it on yet another unwanted Windows update.
But in truth, I had been dealing with my computer slowing down recently, mostly when I was using the Internet. Email and offline activities were just fine, so I did not think it was a virus. But I did not know what to do about the Internet. Because I had been having some problems, and keep getting notices about needing to run Toshiba updates, I had decided to work on this next month, while I was on vacation. I still might.
But, looking through email today, I clicked on a link to view something in my browser. And I was poking around on the alternate Internet access, which also did not seem to be working okay. I clicked on tabs, and realized that every time I had accessed the Internet this way, even though I closed the browser, it did not actually close the tab. After spending quite some time closing all of these tabs, I went back to the other link I use to access the Internet, and guess what? Things were working much, much better!
Yeah!
