I'm not at all surprised that the battery on a 4-year-old laptop has gone south. As for whether it reached its end any sooner because of the AC adapter you were using, that would depend solely on whether it was defective or perhaps was not the correct voltage.
Q: I've got a Dell Inspiron laptop that is about 4 years old. Rarely (very rarely) do I ever use it unplugged. I use it more like a desktop, most always plugged in. About a year ago, I began having trouble with the AC adapter cord. The cord had to be positioned "just so" in order to connect and supply power. Enough! So I went to Staples for a replacement. 
The sales person said it was probably best to get a replacement cord from Dell. But, being short of time, I bought the non-Dell brand AC adapter from Staples, and have been using it since. It seemed to work fine — battery was always at "100 percent and charging," and when I did unplug it, I seemed to get the normal one to two hours of use.
But now when I check status on battery icon, it reads "NO BATTERY DETECTED." And if the AC adapter is unplugged, the orange "low battery" light immediately comes on. Do you think the non-Dell AC unit might be the culprit?

You're always safer sticking with equipment from the manufacturer. The downside, of course, is that you generally pay a higher price.
Personally, I'd make that decision after seeing the price differential.
Q: It seems that after one of my drivers was updated my mouse — which I had no problems with before — went south. Is this possible or did the mouse just die? It still works but is very slow in scanning e-mails and such. Very frustrating. Or was this drivers thing just a coincidence?

A: It's entirely possible for drivers to conflict with each other. You could try restoring Windows to its configuration before installing that driver and see if the mouse problem goes away. To do so, go to the Control Panel and launch the System utility. Next, click on the System Protection tab and then click the System Restore tab.
If that solves the problem, you can choose between reinstalling the driver and having to try another mouse. If it doesn't solve the problem, you'll know your mouse is dying all by itself.

Q: I went into my Yahoo e-mail account the other day and all of these returned undeliverable messages were in my inbox. It looks like someone got into my Yahoo account. I changed my password for Yahoo. Should I change all my other passwords for every account I have? (I think I have more than 1 million passwords at this point in my life.) How did this happen? Does anti-virus protect from this problem? I am a Mac user so I don't have an anti-virus program.
