It sucks today just as bad as it did yesterday and I hate it, hate it, hate it.........and I am not tech-savvy enough to do the computer stuff you recommend rolygate, I wish that the changes had never been made. What I don't understand is how you and your techies have not experienced this, the complaint has been prevalent everywhere I have frequented around here........
And the heck with FB anyway!!!

Ditto!
I'm using IE 8. It's slow and choppy. I deleted all my teporary files and history and such, didn't help.
I'm not going to touch regedit because, frankly, I don't want to mess up my computer.

I guess you don't understand that I don't understand what you're talking about, changing browsers is not in my database.......
I'm afraid that you'll need to fix this problem, because it is old info stored on your computer. One solution is to change to another browser, if you don't know how to clean Internet Explorer.
Download Firefox:
Mozilla Firefox Web Browser
Save the file somewhere you can find it, such as your desktop. Don't just click the Save button, be sure you know where it's going to be saved.
When the download is complete, double-click the file.
Installation should be automatic from here, although you might have to click Yes or Next a few times.

Internet Explorer
I hesitate to tell you how to clean up IE as it will prolong the use of a browser best consigned to the trashcan. You could try this setting though:
If you're using IE 8 -- Go to your InPrivate Filtering settings.
Set it to Automatically Block.
Set to 3 the -- Show content from providers used by this number.....
Then refresh.
The automatically block has to be reset at each instance of opening IE, the 3 will stay.
[thanks progg]

Thanks Rolygate. I did this and it definitely improved a lot. Also gets rid of the FB icon. Google icon is still there.
and a thanks from me! (tweety you can do this!)
much improved and google button, the only one i had, is gone!

So what you're saying is that I'm screwed unless I can find someone to come over and do what you say is required? Our here is the rural plains? Sorta bogus, roly.....
ripple, you can do this!
with ie8, click on tools in your browser bar - then safety - then in-private settings - choose 'block automatically - refresh - done
it does help!!!!!!

There wasn't a 'safety' choice but I found the 'in-private' settings, I just hit block so we'll see -- thanks so much for trying to help someone computer illiterate!!!
Still, it ain't right.....
Still, it ain't right.....
fingers crossed! and remember what roly said, you need to block every time you start your browser! i have not verified that, i usually leave my browser open for several days ......
your browser open...?
..........that's why you have had so many problems Amorcito......................BTW I love your avi
your browser open...?
I know, Jemma rocks -- you can be hot after 40!!!
But tib doesn't watch SOA -- they better not kill Tara or one of the boys tonight, I'll stop watching.
This is working for me, I went to the settings she described and blocked the FB and google links and its all back to normal -- try it all concerned!
no worries, corazon! i've had no problems - knock on wood - for a long, long time!
this slow-down was caused by google +1, browsing in-private has fixed that!
and i appreciate roly's advice - i know how much he despises ie
but for some of us it's the only way to go - we do love it!
seriously though, running ms security essentials and a weekly scan with malwarebytes, plus secunia's scan for updates, has kept me surfing problemfree.

Thanks, Progg. That fix worked for me. However, I had to reblock every time I re-entered the site, just as you predicted.
[Also, thanks to Roly and Tibs and everybody who offered advice.]
Then I upgraded to IE9; it's much faster than the IE8, and better designed (although I'm still learning how to navigate it.) However, I can't find a way to make those three buttons (FB and Google) disappear in IE9...
Soooo, should I download Firefox?
I've read a lot of reviews and everybody seems to like FF.Decisions, decisions...
This has been a fascinating thread, most of it over my head.
Rolygate, do you have any easy-peasy advice for those of us who use Google Chrome and want to stick with it (i.e. not switch to Mozilla Firefox)??
(And yes, I am a complete techno-ignorati!)
