Dave, thanks

yes, it was, and, I did get malwarebytes

what I'm curious, though, that I was not able to identify what was causing
the pop up balloon to go up?

when I clicked on the balloon, I could identify what was starting, and,
source of traffic, but, I couldn't identify what sent the balloon up

also, it cleaned up, BUT, I still get strange traffic on port 21260 to
hosts all over the place, that I can not identify what it is
