that "errors" *DO* show up for last evening when I couldn't get a connection to send and e-mail, that it isn't a matter of somebody using my connection so much as possibly MALWARE.

DUers have previously suggested I use MalwareBytes, which I did on a free trial, and this tech this morning said I should try it again this time. My anti-virus/Trend Micro is always doing scans and showing nothing.

So, am going to try the malwarebytes for now.
