- MBP late 2013, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
I have a four year old (late 2008) MacBook 5,1 with 8Gb memory and 2Gb Intel core 2 duo processor. Internet connection is 7Gb using Centurylink
Over the last couple of days I have noticed that my internet seems a little slow. Today, I was chatting on Skype and suddenly an advert (Cadillac advert) was being pushed over my speakers despite the fact that none of the Safari windows I had open were showing any adverts. Also, it was web sites that I have often used before and they don't usually push adverts.
Also on a couple of occasions I was typing faster than the screen would display the characters.
I don't think this is a memory problem as my system monitor was showing plenty of available memory and no page outs or swap.
I know my MacBook is getting old and there is probably a lot of junk on it but I am not dsure that explains the above.
Any suggestions as to what might be going on would be welcomed.
