Are those video commercial advertisements slowing down your connections to MedHelp?

[stella5349]

I'm taking a stab on my computer issues lately and thinking since this cancer survivor video advertisement appeared on here,  that - that's the reason why it takes so long for my pages to load.

It must take me 10 minutes to view or comment on 6 posts and its frustrating for sure. ( AGHH!)  

Not thyroid related here - but looking for common ground on this theory - or if I should seek out some IT help on my own system.

Check out the poll and answer yes or no and I would be grateful if anyone with suggestions would offer it on a comment for me to speed my connection up here more. Thanks!

Spybot - free, works better than the ones you pay for, free updates as well. Malware Bites is another good free one.

I agree that you may need to delete some cookies and check for spyware, adware, or malware, plus empty your temporary files.  I use a program called Super Anti-Spyware - you can download a free trial - gets rid of all the tracking cookies, plus viruses, etc.

If you haven't cleared your temporary cache, and deleted browsing history and cookies in a while this can slow your computer down. Also running a programme called Spybot can help heaps!
Also check your bandwith has not gone over limit, this slows it down immensely.

Just some hints!

Hey Girl! Long time no talk too, but hope you are doing great.

You may want to check your system, if you haven't already, for some spyware or malware. Also cookies will slow your system down as they record info on where you're going and what you're looking at. Deleting most cookies helps almost always.

Stay strong and Healthy!!!

10 minutes on 6 posts is on a GOOD day for me too. :(
