A new screen appeared today, when I used Chrome. Sgnificance: I think some IE material might have been residual when I went to Chrome.
Sequence of events:
(1) Browsed Internet (CNN), using IE. (My IE browser is set to delete cookies whenever IE browser is closed.)
(2) Still in IE, went to FlyerTalk.
(3) Clicked on Forums.
(4) Virus-alert message appeared, on an all-white background, without any Flyertalk screen in the background. Made a snip.
(5) Tried to right-click for page source but nothing worked except Ctrl Alt Del.
(6) Turned computer off, using on-off button.
(7) Turned computer back on. (Note that at this point IE had not been automatically closed down, which would have deleted cookies automatically--though of course it did not reopen when I restarted the computer.)
(8) Opened Chrome. (IE is still off.) Went to Flyertalk.
(9) Could not open Chrome, got a new screen box, which read:
Plug-in Unresponsive
[yellow caution icon with exclamation mark) The following plug-in is unresponsive: Unknown
Would you like to stop it? [boxes to check] Yes No
(10) Checked IE for residual cookies, found a Favicon (right-clicking showed this as owned by Flyertalk), and an "IE9 CompatViewList.xml", which rightclicking on showed as owned by Microsoft.
I can send a snip of the new screen but would need instructions on how to PM a jpg file.
