Dear Geeks,

I recently purchased a new laptop and its an i7 with i7-7500U 2.7Ghz to 3.5Ghz and 8GB RAM (windows 10). The problem is when I try to visit a website like dailystar to read the news, the ads that popup slow down my laptop a lot and if I want to scroll down through the page, it lags a lot. I never had this problem on my older windows 8 latpop, and this happens on all the websites I visit with ads.

Any fix?

Thanks.
Which browser? If you are using FF or Chrome (maybe Opera), install ad-block. If you are using edge/explorer, edit your hosts file to limit some of the advertising. You may also have some bloated spy ware on your laptop--go through and try to get rid of any suspected programs you may not need and that may also help.

probably the bloatware on the laptop. i suggest a clean install of windows 10.
SSD or HDD? This days HDD is bad idea.
Maybe old laptop was SSD? :)
first try AD Block, second open the task manager while browsing and facing stutter and try to identify what is using cpu or ram or hdd which is causing this problem
Use malwarebytes to clean your laptop and disable/remove toolbars addins
THANK YOU!

1) I ran a scan - no infections.
2) Installed AdBlock for Chrome and everything is smooth again :)

Much love!
