That gmail hesitation thing. A clue?
recently, the problem I've written about four times, the hesitation when writing in gmail seemed okay-ish. Today, it was madness. A couple of letters on the screen and then wait five or more seconds for the next input to appear. A lightbulb moment: I disconnected from the net.
All the problems disappeared. Now, it has to be said that this recent tediousness might not be the same issue, but now, on W10, gmail was useless. However, I don't think the problem quite coincided with 10. Maybe it just took time to flex its muscles.
Off to turn off Kaspersky and run a couple of other Nasty-zappers.
BTW, a pal, lifetime with Big Blue's software side had not got a good thing to say about Kasper. Avast seems to be in favour at the moment, AVG having become bloated. Me? I know nothing.
