I noticed my CPUs going crazy on one of the Win-7 Gadget CPU Meters, and after opening the Control Panel, I found 5 apps installed on 12/21 - the day I went to the streaming video site - which was causing this.

If you don’t have a CPU meter available, you won’t notice it, but that much heavy CPU usage will cause problems with the computer, prematurely wearing it out or causing crashes.

Winamp, Sendori, Social Browsing, Social Browsing DNS, Browser Protect - anything dated 12/21/13 was uninstalled by me this morning, and the CPUs have settled-down and are back to normal range.

FYI...

FYI I ran a Malwarebytes scan today, first in maybe 2 years.
Found only one trojan (that probably didn’t come from the internet caonsidering where it was- in some old robtics programs).
MSE is all the security I use.

It must be something in my security settings that make this all go so well for me but I wish I knew just what it was!
