Yahoo and other site loading WAY SLOW
I am SOOOO new to Windows 7.
I am the IT support person for a company which had no intentions of moving to Win7 yet, but our CEO got a SONY laptop with Windows 7 home Premium 4gb on the motherboard, 64bit OS When we are trying to brows the web we have no problem with Google but Yahoo comes up in "compatibility mode" and the items are displayed left justifed. Ebay comes up in "normal" mode but with the items skewed most of the time but sometime it comes up normal... o...k..... These "skewed" sites also take FOREVER to load. I have attached a JPG of the screen with Firefox and IE8 (same thing happens with chrome) Help? |

Hi Sheeter. Welcome to SevenForums
![]() A quick glance at your attached picture shows that the Yahoo site at least, is the mobile version of their Website. (signified by the "m" before the www prefix) Try accessing the browser based pages and see if there is an improvement. Hope this helps. ![]() . |

not really. If you type "www.yahoo.com" the DNS to reroutes it to "m.www.yahoo.com"

Sheeter my suggestion would be the following:
First Optimize IE 8:
I am pretty sure that you have spyware of some type on the laptop. For reference see here: Internet Explorer 8 redirects to Mobile layout based sites . |

No Joy...
I have followed the advice above and there is no difference.
I have installed AVG 9 and run a full scan, I also installed and ran Malwarebytes program which found Hijack.DisplayProperties and cleared it. Rebooted No difference. Thoughts? Steve |

I would pull AVG out and put in Microsoft Security Essentials for sanity's sake, and I would also run Malwarebytes again, this time using the Chameleon tool
Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Tools > Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Chameleon ![]() This tool will attempt to launch Malwarebytes in an attempt to update the definitions, especially if malware has taken over and prevented any other AV/AS tool from working. Even if it fails, it will then try to slay the malicious processes before trying to run Malwarebytes in Quick Scan mode.
![]() You could also try and check into Google Public DNS. I hardly use it myself. DNS Addressing - How to Change in Windows 7 |

Yahoo is one of two sites that have been habitually slow for me. In the case of Yahoo, the amount of time it takes to open up the window varies from time to time; it will be reasonably fast for a few days, then it will slow down for a few days. Occasionally, IE will time out. The other one is ASUS forums. Same story, sometimes reasonably fast other times slower, up to and including time outs. I've had the problem with these two sites on two different computers, one being used on several different ISPs, so the problem isn't with my computers or network.

Chrome freezes for a minute when loading a site in new tab Hey there. This doesn't happen every time I open a new tab, but on certain occasions.
