So was just after some info as to whats best to do? :thanks ian |

| 1420117 | 2016-05-04 23:24:00 | Was mid to late December and been running okay. Doing this is fine, just takes a while for websites to open. I run CC almost everyday and being a fresh install, not an upgrade no crapware from that. Any ideas? |

| 1420118 | 2016-05-05 02:38:00 | Is it just the browser that is slow, what's it like generally on other tasks? What anti-virus do you use, do you use any add-ons in the browser, is your internet just slow.... An SSD is a great quality of life upgrade and I swear by them but if your issues are not drive related you may be disappointed. Personally I'd still do it because they are just better :) A few years back I had a 1 year licence for Kaspersky as part of a hardware purchase so I thought I'd try it as it had some great reviews. A month or so later of swearing at my browser going slow particularly when viewing google image search results and I finally put 2 and 2 together and removed Kaspersky - everything back to normal. Point is sometimes it's not what you think it is and it pays to step back and consider what else could be causing the problems. |
