Is the site running poorly for anyone else? It’s taking forever for pages to load and I have tried on 4 different computers. ---

Not having any problems here. It could be your internet provider. Are you on a regular phone line or broadband? The typical phone connection is getting more difficult by the day, since it can’t handle the high volume of info typically transmitted on any website. ---

I agree with Doc. Since neither of us is having any problems with the site, your ISP is probably to blame. ---

Another thought occurred to me. If your internet access has suddenly slowed down, this could indicate a virus infection or the presence of spyware or other malware on your computer. If you don’t have up to date anti-virus protection, I suggest that you go out and buy some today before more problems mount up. For ridding your machine of spyware and other malware, there are free downloads avaiable for Ad-Aware software from Lavasoft. Just “google” Ad-Aware and use one of the sites that comes up. One of those sites is C-Net, if I recall correctly. ---

Thanks everyone, I am up to date on computer security and I have four other computers (all dual core or better)and they all perform poorly just on this site and just recently. I must use “refresh” every time a page loads. I bought a 2 year unlimited support plan so I can get all my equipment looked at as many time as I want (Cyberdefender). I just don’t know what is slowing Car Talk down and nothing else is performing poorly. Thank You all again ---

I forgot the first thing to do,delete temp.files, browsing history, now she is screaming again. Placebo effect made me think my others computers were also slow.
