Why Is Everything Very Slow At Yahoo? Why Is The Command 'delete' Not Working?

The more I try to take offers of improving my Yahoo website, the slower the responses from the command become. What is causing this? Why do I keep receiving that offer of upgrading the site when I already subscribed to it?

A slow computer response problem may not be with Yahoo but with your computer. Your computer's hard drive and temporary memory may be bogged down and in need of maintenance. There are several ways to improve your computer's memory capacity and speed:

1. First your computer may have a Trojan, virus or have been hacked.  Do a complete virus scan on your system.

2. Clearing your cache and cookies always speeds up a computer. Go to your Tool button on your toolbar and choose the delete browsing history.

3.  Manually empty your computer's Trash Can.

4.  Do regular computer maintenance to speed up your computer's responses.  Go to Programs, Accessories and System Tools and run a Disk De-fragment and Disk Cleanup. This should be done on a regular basis and will free up memory on your computer so your other programs will run smoother and faster.

5.  Backing up your photos to a portable hard drive/jump drivewill free up tons of memory and help to protect them from a hard drive crash.
