I'm posting this here because I'm not sure where to go. Please move me to the appropriate place if somewhere else would be better.
I use Firefox but tried IE and have the same problem.
Last week internet pages started loading slowly and rarely fully load. It will take a minute or more for a simple page like Google to open. Fuller pages like a news site will take upwards of 5 minutes and still not fully load. They continually say waiting, transferring, or looking up in the bottom left corner. The refresh arrow on the URL bar remains an X.
I have run virus scan, McAfee Virus Scan Plus. I have also run Spybot and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware as well. None of them have found anything.
Thinking maybe I have a router/Wi-fi issue I have disconnected Wi-fi and wired into the modem. No better. Have a desktop pc (wired), Android tablet and Nintendo Wii (both Wi-fi) and nothing else is having problems.
There do not seem to be any other signs of problem on laptop. I can run other things - games, office programs and such and everything opens and operates fine.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dawn
