Biggest problem I have right now is that when I attempt to type an e-mail the "words" that come up on the e-mail come up much slower that the rate at which I am, typing them--so it leads me to believe there is something wrong in the computer.
BUT--( and maybe I am answering my own question )--I just noticed that as I type this question, that the words are coming up as fast as I type them!
Maybe the problem lies in the e-mail provider that I am using ( I use "outlook" ).
Your thoughts?
Just a suggestion -- in the future if you get a popup offer online that you need a new driver, that you computer is infected with a virus, etc. don't click on the ad. Like others have said, it sounds like malware to me.

Hope everything is back to normal with your computer soon.
