A few hours before the failure, I received and looked at an e-mail that I'm almost certain was at least a spoof, and possibly malicious. I know it contained html and links. I did *** not *** click any of the links. I looked at it, and deleted it. It was viewed in Thunderbird only. The message's "From" ended with "yahoo.com". My question: It is highly improbable that that message had anything to do with the boot failure. Am I correct?
You are correct.
Also a few hours before the failure, I did some web browsing using Firefox with NoScript and uBlock Origin. As best as I recall, the "riskiest" sites that I visited were finance.yahoo.com (and a few of its sub-pages, I clicked no ads, no ad links) and indeed.com (possibly and a posting or two). My question: It is highly improbable that my web browsing had anything to do with the boot failure. Am I correct?
You are correct, again.
