Another member mentioned the internet being slow all week. Mine has been horrible here in south Georgia. Started after Microsoft's updates Tuesday last week. Pages wont display on the first try -- email won't receive on first try.
Anyone else?
-
...yup...my email was down for a cpl days..
..thot my service provider had blocked it...
..went in to make a payment, and they said..we didn't block it!!..you're payed up!!..
..came back home and it still wasn't receiving...
..next day it was fine...
-
Mine has been working fine - but I use Apple and not Microsoft.
-
Yes, Hoolander!
Mine always has some issues because of loose wire connections and humidity in the lines being surrounded by woods here. (The humidity part really doesn't make much sense to me...should be a solution if you pay for the service...but that's the answer I always get if I try to have company provide a solution.) But, it has been terrible this week here too!! And yes, I do remember an update in the past week. :-[
OH, and yes, pages say they are loading, but never do until I reset the connection and try again. Email too. Says it's connecting, but doesn't unless I close it and try again, sometimes several times.

I have both a Mac and a PC. The Windows updates have created problems for us in the past.
Won't be buying another PC....
-
If you have a problem after an update, use "restore" to get back to before the update.
-
Ok, thanks Rianna, Word and all. Just wondered if I was only one. I can't complain too much about my Windows XP. 5 years old and still does fine most of the time. I'll give MS a week or so and see if they come out with a fix for their fixes. :D Then try a restore.
My computer is a 5 year old Sharp AL 27 notebook. Outdated in terms of memory and hard drive but still works great. Has a super bright glossy screen which I really love.
-
no problems here, but its a mac so... yeah ;D :P
-
..i tried 7...
..but in my opinion..xp can't be beat...
-
BIG update today 10/26/10 from MSN for vista 64bit , mandatory restart .
-
...i regressed back to the 32 bit....on this computer...
-
Google's been havin' problems with hijacked links and redirects past week or so according to the antivirus forums.
-
..my isp just sent me an email warning against a bogus email requesting an update in their account info...
..wtf...
-
Don't click anything in that email!
-
..i know right...
..itsa catch22...

i like the one that pops up and looks like a windows security alert saying you have malware on your computer and you need to click here to remove the threat.
I got one the other day - on my Mac!
-
...dang..NEVER do that!!!

..them damned porn sites.........
-
I have seen them...some of them look very real. Didn't know they were targeting the Macs with them now, though.
-
I think it just pops up on whatever - clearly didn't know I was on a Mac because I obviously couldn't have a Windows security issue when I don't have Windows.
-
I have pop up blocker on all the time, so I never see those things :p
-
have pop up blocker on all the time, so I never see those things
...yup..me too, and me neither, unless i go to them damned porn sites...
:-\
..i'm just sayin'....
-
Yeah, I have to popup blocker too and never get them - but this one made it around it.
These computer hacker types are good at what they do. Since I never get popups it made it seem like a real message from my computer - except my computer doesn't speak Windows!
-
..i'm surprised we're even talking then...
..windows is all mine knows.....
-
That's the beauty of the internet - speaks to all!
Thanks Al Gore!
-
..we OWE al....for coming up with ALL THIS!!
.

Now mine is working fast again after 2 weeks of frustration. No updates came in that I know of. I did see an ATT truck driving down my street the other day though.
-
Check , check , testing 1 , 2 , 3, testing .

...i can't here my snare......
