Yelp Yelp. Trouble with vBulletin loading

[lurker]

For several daze it's been slow loading the two vBulletin boards I subscribe to. Attachments are fine to load and other sites like the HutchNews are OK. Even a vBulletin board I don't subscribe to loads fine. (that sux)

Sometimes it takes several minutes to load a single page. Any Iders?

cookie problem maybe? Since the site you don't subscribe to wouldn't have downloaded a cookie, it's all i can think of. And since i'm sure both other boards are on different hosters with different servers, it should be the only common denominator. Might try clearing them, maybe it'll help.

Welp, I deleted the cookies under IE's "Tools" but that hasn't helped... still slooowwww. Shut off AVG too...

Other Ideas Please?

Hi Lurker, have you tried this? Download the free version http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10...age&tag=button 'im not real computer savy, but it helps mine

It's been taking about 5 minutes to open any thread. Hoarsey's link opened right up, so I've downloaded that version and will run it soon.

Thanks for the help so far.... we'll see what happens now.

I use the combination of Ad-Aware and Spybot, it seems that together they get about everything. One always finds something the other didn't get.

I have been researching the same issues myself. I have 2 PC's side by side one running COX security suite and Microsoft Antispyware and the other running nothing. The one running nothing is by far quicker loading pages. I believe the slow down on some pages is due to two different issues. 1. On-demand/real-time virus/spyware checking turned on. 2. Code intense pages such as vBulletin.

Some anti-virus/Antispyware checks incoming data BEFORE it gets written to the hard drive making the loading of pages, also dependent on the amount of code on a page, much slower. Other anti software uses On-demand checking meaning it only checks the code when its used(on-demand).

vBulletin is pretty code intensive and would tend to make these differences more notable. Real-time protection(incoming data checked before its written to drive) is better protection but at a price. Slower loading of code intense pages.
