a VPN trial I was trying was slowing my computer down.... [View all]

even after the month trial ended and I got an email from them confirming that it had ended. I didn't put 2+2 together until this morning so I uninstalled it and now I am back to normal.

Just a lesson or a heads up for others like me.

I'm not an expert so I don't understand why something that is not even in use anymore would slow down your computer (even going back and forth here in DU was slow (and annoying)).

It was Express VPN by the way.

YMMV
