Ok I'm gonna have to explain this very much for it to make sense.

2-3 Days ago, my computer for some odd reason, suddenly is REALLY REALLY slow when dealing with the internet.  FOnline runs perfect, web-pages like this forum run perfectly fine.  Mumble is fine.  Mirc is fine.  But things like:  Newgrounds.com, Youtube, and some job application sites and Ebay.com are either

1.  EXTREMELY slow to load.
2.  Do not load at all and your just stuck with a blank screen.
or
3.  Loads "Some" of the page.

Also, when it does load the page, if it has for example, a video being loaded, it is now 4 times slower than it used to be on 2-3 days ago.  Sometimes it doesn't even load the video area, and it's just stuck.

This has never happened before, and I have defragged, optimized, and scanned for malware with multiple programs.  for example:  Advanced SystemCare 4.0.0, Smart Defrag2, and default Internet tools.  I've deleted tons of stuff I don't need and it is still slow or unresponsive.

I REALLY need some help.  Gettin really anxious here.

  I don't think Flash is related to youtube.

Restart your computer ?

  I restart it every day.

  I don't think Flash is related to youtube.

Youtube, as well as most website games "flash games" use flash.

Ok, updated my Adobe Flash Player.  I tried running some youtube and newgrounds.com vids.  Still slow as fuck.  No apparent difference.

Deleting history also helps, makes everything run faster ;]

There are some problems betwen Internet service providers (ISP) and Youtube that might account for the slowdowns you have encountered. People use so much bandwidth to use youtube, and ISPs dont want to pay the extra money it would take to bring it quickly to home users. So in the end it is slow as fuck to load a 360p video.

Don't know aboout you, but it's a problem in my country, and i've experienced such unexplainable slowdowns.

I had the same problem, but i took out my router and plugged it back in, fixxed my problem


http://www.malwarebytes.org/ Free very good virus scanner

Try to reinstall you're windows browser, or use a different one

Hope this helps, if you need more help come on skype and talk to me and a friend

Go to windows/system32/drivers/etc and open file "hosts" with a notepad. If should look like this:

Code: [Select]

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1       localhost
# ::1             localhost
If it's different from this, then you should delete this file and restart your computer. This file will be automatically created again.

  Ok been goin off and on trying to find this, and I am now completely clueless.  How do I access this from step 1?

You should set hidden folders as visible. Check this for tutorial how to do it.
