“My computer’s been doing a lot of weird stuff.”
If you have windows XP, or later, you should be able to go to a former “restore point” on the computer.
Find restore and go to an earlier date before your computer started acting up.
After your computer is restored to an earlier date, make sure you bring all your “windows updates” up to date.
Make sure your virus program is up to date.
You should also have a “firewall” installed.
If you want to get one or both (firewall and/or virus program)go to (comodo.com):
They are both free.
Good luck!

Thanks. We’ve got McAfee but I know they’re part of the problem. McAfee put a pop-up on Donofrio’s blog to try to get people to report that there were problems there so they could put a flag restricting access to the site. When my husband took McAfee off the problem was resolved. But then I couldn’t check the safety of sites before going on them so we put it back on. But I don’t trust it at all.
Right now I’ve got one particularly helpful site I go to which always results in the “Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close”. As of today I can just drag the pop-up to the side and still do stuff with the site and the other tabs I’ve got.
Yesterday the Honolulu Advertiser sent me a confirmation e-mail to register to post comments at their article, and I could see the e-mail being received but as soon as the Send/Receive pop-up was gone the e-mail disappeared.
And my e-mail is arriving to strategic people’s inboxes 3 or 4 days after I send it.
I don’t know how to reset to an earlier date. Any help you can give would be great. I’m a computer moron. lol.
