i'm not having any problems from my cable or accessing SM, do you know how to do a tracert from your computer?

 

[doctorcathy]

i dont know what a tracert is.

my internet connection says Excellent and the speed is 36Mbps...but thats what it says on the laptop.

so what should i do?

 

[joe]

actually it may be the site, i a, checking into the server now, it seems slower than normal

 

[lani]

I'm having a problem too.

 

[dhodina]

I am on cable and it is very slow for me as well. But not only this site, It was happening even at work today. So I have no idea.

 

[MalteseJane]

I am on cable and very slow for me too tonight. I think it's the site. AMR website is working well.

 

[doctorcathy]

its going a little faster here. but i still think my internet is messed up or something.

i have the sony vaio laptop. so it has wireless internet. and my norton virus expired.

maybe i should check to see if i have a virus or something.

Ya know, the last few days I’ve noticed it’s been slow....and it’s been especially slow today. I have cable too. I thought it was my computer or maybe the connection, but it’s only happening on here.

[doctorcathy]

yeah! i still think its my computer because hotmail is really slow too.

i checked norton...no virus here. and spybot had a few things. it just sucks.

 

[joe]

[carrie]

Just as an FYI....there are 3 free downloads that prevent/kill spyware. They are recommended by Dr. Bombay and I use them weekly, when I do my virus scan as part of weekly maintenance. They are Spyware Blaster, Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-aware.

I also periodically clean out my cookies, temp files and do a defrag and disc clean.

Then I have Earthlink Spamblocker which has really helped keep the viagra and software crap out of my email.

All these things have made a difference in the speed for me and I have cable. Spyware particularly can gum things up.



Spyware blockers
