Among all the issues, form disabled Avast NDIS Filter Miniport Driver to Chrome working in all but one profile, to now not being able to detect a new network and a "HomeGroup" Icon being added to my desktop... I DONT do Private Network or Sharing on this network. Nor do any of my settings suggest I have.
My machine is about toast. So once again my only resort is scrub--- re-install. Whether there was a FP on the rest of GMail; sure feels like I got exploited right about then. The link I posted was WARNING ID'd due to subscription; not maleware.
...Im just sharing my crashing, as it relates.
