… are loading slow as hell, and I think it’s because of those ads. Also, as I stare at a completely white screen, there’s a link at the bottom which begins with the number 36. I’ve run all my protective services, but sometimes in order to see an e-mail, I have to click on the red x, then it’ll show it.

Cleaned my registry as well. No idea what this is unles it’s a virus that Mic Essentials didn’t catch.

Anyone else having Yahoo issues?

I may go to g-mail if it doesn’t stop.

Thanks

Quasi

I’m not having any issues at all. Yahoo acted a lot like a snail on sedatives when they first rolled out the new e-mail, but lately it has been fine for me.

I do have adblock plus installed (firefox) and I am not seeing any ads on the right side of the screen. Ads could make a huge difference.

Adblock extension for Firefox. unless you’re running IE, in which case…either switch to FF or get a gmail account, both easily enough done.

This.

Firefox + AdBlock Plus is the answer to all questions about ads on web sites.
