| Can anyone explain what happened here? |

Last night, knowing I would be watching the game, I decided to scan w/Malwarebytes. Since I never before did it in safe mode, I proceeded to do it in that mode. Found nothing, Great.
Here is what happened after.
When I went to DU after the game to read comments, I had to sign in again but it would not hold my password. I went to a couple of other sites where I must enter my password and the same thing happened. The full screen flashed on then immediately threw me off.
I got a new password from DU, tried that and the same thing happened. Tried to research on line, could not find an answer to this. I don't remember what site but I did read that I should unplug the modem for about 30 seconds. OK, but same problem kept happening.
Gave up for last night.
This morning? All is fine.
If I did something I should not have, I need to know what it was so I won't do it again. Any suggestions?

| 1. .You may have been running in safe mode and not rebooted before trying DU. |
|
Safe mode is not necessary to run Malwarebytes. Usually used when machine is known to be infected.
Without being there after the fact problem solving is next to impossible.
