Happened to me for a while also. It may or may not be related, but there has apparently been a major DDOS attack going on over the last 24 hours on big chunks of the Internet.
Yeah, I just heard this on "NBC Nightly News", and they said it was an attack on the U.S. Internet (that it started, BIG TIME, in the East, and has now made it out, to the West)----but, apparently, it has affected OTHER countries, TOO!! They said it worries them, even MORE, regarding someone hacking the U.S. on Election Day.
I haven't gotten any warnings, but this site (and Craig's List, which, IIRC, is ALSO home-based in California) are acting wonky----like, when I type, the letters don't show-up right-away, and then, all-of-a-sudden, they catch-up.
