Why Am I Having So Much Trouble Browsing The Internet? Is It The Things and Sites I'm Visiting?

I had the same problem. I notified the folks at Norton and it took them a few hours to get my pc working as new.

Sounds trite, but it is amazing how many problems it will often fix...
1. Power everything down; computer, modem, router, etc.
2. Wait 5 minutes.
3. Power everything up.

Set your Malwarebytes on its toughest settings, including rootkits, and do a complete scan, then do a quick scan with your new Avast with the settings on their toughest mode and then a boot scan with Avast, again with settings on their toughest mode.

If you are finding spyware and viruses, then download Superantispyware free and put the settings on high, “scanning archives”, and all the other toughest, deepest settings, and scan with it.

Always use the toughest deepest settings, and always scan a lot.

God you sound paranoid as hell.

Ah, finally an asymmetrical warfare reply. Took ya long enough, jeez.

Yes. Government = Google??

I’ve noticed that my YouTube channel and website hits have dropped off dramatically since I’ve started commenting on manmade global warming stories/videos. Theoretically, commenting should create more visitors not less. Seems like some sort of cyber punishment by Google for bucking the party line in a public forum.

Yes, yes it is.

Put the foil tightly around your head and go into the basement.

Stay there for 3 months. It will be different when you come out.

Either upgrade your modem/router from whatever BigComm company that you subscribe to their abuse; OR, given that you may have encountered malware/worm/trojan/Democrats consider factory resetting your computer/laptop - please back up your files first with a medium that you are technically comfortable with and are certain you can restore to the fresh install without porting the original bug.

Or call your son, that's what sons are for...

I’ve been surfing Internet long enough to notice that sluggish network responses occur when colleges and schools begin new sessions in August / September and after holidays.

PCKeeper & Loadshop malware infection on Lenovo Win7.

Off of what I'm seeing there, I'd probably wipe everything and start over. I've gotten help on Bleeping Computer three times. Once, it was a nightmare called Aurora.

Off of what I'm seeing there, I'd probably wipe everything and start over.

I have 3 .dll files I can't erase and use the internet. I don't seem to have a lot of problems with popups so I will forego wiping the system until I feel I have major problems. I will probably contact my son who is a major computer geek. He can access my computer through a Citrix program and work on it.

Are you having any problems? I am not.

No, no problems on my iMac.

No, no problems on my iMac.

I thought not.

My new mac mini is all i seem to need. Got a super drive to go with it. My kid said i was old.

Works for me.

[ViLaLuz]

Thank you.

Yeah. I need to run to God all the time and then I won’t be so paranoid.
