Twice today, websites I have visited have appeared to take over my machine. The first time was, as mentioned in my other thread, when I followed a link on the Wireshark wiki. The second time was while I was looking for answers to my other thread's problem and followed this link:
http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/03/how-to-fix-failed-to-retrieve-share-list-from-server-in-ubuntu-12-04-11-10-when-file-sharing-with-windows/ The symptoms were much hard disk activity, very slow response to moving the mouse, and very slow response to mouse button clicks. The first time I manually shut down the machine. The second time I waited until the mouse click got through and shut down Firefox. Should be concerned about what some web sites might have inflicted on my machine? If so, what would I look for, or better, how should I look for them. If it's to read a log, which one(s)? Thanks. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
