[QUOTE="cowbrain, post: 917538, member: 95559"] Thank you very much for replies. Using an ethernet cable doesn't help the issue - which, I guess, is good news as it may mean that my hardware (airport card) is not at fault? I have also tried moving the Macbook to the router (I'm right beside it now) but the slow loading still continues. In the bottom bar, as the pages are loading, I'm getting text which includes unexpected (to me) names such as: [I]a.tribalfusion.com[/I] ? A quick Google of this (or a slow Google, in my case) associates this name with medium risk virus or adware? If I was still a Wind0ws user, I'd be deep into the works of Norton/AVG etc by now and trying to pull this out. Could it be that my browser has been hijacked? I'm still relatively new to Mac and imagined I was immune to this? Thanks again for replies. Much appreciated. Cheers, CB [/QUOTE]
