Super User IItess e - you have approved it. There are multiple confirmations you need to go through to say it is going to do it. However, if you are anything like me then you'll often just click 'ok' and 'next'..... I was also burnt on this one!
I have been "burned" like you and also need to power off my computer as all kinds of things are cropping up ... it's incredibly slow and several big grey boxes appeared on the screen when I tried to navigate my Thunderbird email and are now stuck there, obscuring what I need to get to though I have closed the Tbird app. ... Also, I have no battery power and will be unplugging this machine very soon. That requires power down.
😞 I hope you get some relief and find a solution. If you do, please share!
