    Hello,
    When I open a new webpage there is a few second hangup before I can scroll up or down. Taskbar says waiting.
    Any thoughts to improve?
    Thanks

    What browser are you using and what version? All web pages or just some. Go to User CP near the top left corner and put in your Specs. Could be lack of RAM or other things. Have you cleared History, Temp Files and done a Defrag lately?

    Your computer is infected with a Web browser spyware called AdYield Manager. This program monitors your browsing habits and sends the info it gathers back to a marketing research company. That's why you have a lag when opening certain Web pages. This malware is not real dangerous, but it does slow down Web browsing.

    However, you likely may have other unknown malicious software on the computer.

    Read this WindowsBBS Guide, then start a new thread in the Removing Malware forum here.
