Perhaps foolishly I ran NPE. I have run it successfully in the past. It chugs along until it gets to the point of "analyzing data". At this point it pops up a box stating "NPE has successfully restored internet connection. Host file and NPE proxy settings may have been modified." I said continue but it keeps looping back to this point. I at last said quit.
Questions/suggestions:
1) I snagged popup box test from another post. Why not allow cut/paste on your messages?
2) What was modified? Was it restored.
3) What the heck is going on? Do I have a problem.?
Machine seems fine, just being extra paranoid.
