I've never seen this happen before on any computer of mine, but maybe the ISP has changed something within their network in the last month and that caused this strange thing to happen when the HP machine went online for the first time in several weeks, but if that were the case I'd expect t have seen it on my other machine on atleast one occasion.Īny thoughts what's happened here? Is it something to worry about, a symptom of a virus or a symptom of something breaching the firewall the moment I connected or something?

I was turning it on today to update all it's programs/OS then upload a few files from it into google drive for accessing from another computer later.Īnyway, it turned on fine, I logged on the normal way and did nothing else with it for a few minutes as I had other things to do in the room, I came back to it and pugged in the ethernet to connect and perform some updates (I planned to do these before opening the browser) but when I inserted my ethernet cable firefox (my default browser) just suddenly opened (as soon as the little yellow triangle had gone from the flight mode/connected by wire/disconnected icon in the system tray firefox was opening.

I had just turned the thing on, it had been on a few times in the last few weeks but it hasn't been connected online at all since the 1st of the month. Something freaky just happened on my HP laptop running windows 8.1.
