I think Xfinity is sending out what most would call a computer virus. They only want your money.Ran the "troubleshooter" thingy on the wifi. It said it was not configured to connect automatically (although I think it was). Had the troubleshooter set it to do that and it thinks that resolved the problem, so we shall see. I'm skeptical.
Well this isn't Xfinity related. It's peculiar to my laptop since my work laptop is literally nearly touching my personal laptop and it hasn't had any problems. And my personal one hadn't had any until a couple days ago. So far, setting my setting to connect automatically to the main home network seems to be working.I think Xfinity is sending out what most would call a computer virus. They only want your money.
So, your connection is switched to "xfinitywifi" but it's not connected unless you buy more from them or manually switch back to your existing wifi.
Just a theory, but that is what I had noticed earlier.
If I do a wifi search and look at all it can detect, like all your neighbors setups, there are usually about twenty within range, but I see eight unsecured "xfinitywifi" networks. Click one and you get an ad.
Acts like a virus to me.
Hmm... that's a lot of "junk" to accumulate! Never heard of something like that before.Oh, DD, and I also found a temp folder with 4gb of whatever in it. That stuff gets dumped with each restart, but in about an hour it had 4gb of incripted text?
BS!
