By good fortune, my broadband speed increased 5X about a month ago to around 50 Mb/sec but I now seem to have an increasing problem with my browser (& I’ve tried three) in that it constantly slows & finally freezes. Everything works fine after a re-boot & it all zips along but after a couple of hours it all slows down & eventually grinds to a virtual halt. I’m also constantly bombarded by adverts & pop-ups, far more than previously, they always appear first &, ultimately, seem to slow internet search time to virtually zero, slower than it used to be with just 8 Mb/sec! What’s going on? Can I do anything to stop this? Can I reduce this constant advertising bombardment which I’m truly not interested in?
My problem may be unconnected with an increase in BB speed but I’m very suspicious; are 3rd parties filling my registry with crap! I’m on the verge of re-installing Win 10 to clear it all out & start from scratch. I do this every 18-24 months anyway & it always makes a huge difference but my current install is only 8 months old! I’m sure a re-install will cure my current problem but why has this happened & will it just reappear? Am I barking up the wrong tree? Any advice welcome!
