    I found that tracking cookies slow me down. When I answered questions and clicked on admit, it took a long time for it to go through. And other things were slow.

    A pop up came up by my security telling me, in my mail, that it blocked

    ad.yieldmanager.com. I googled it and found out it was a tracking cookie and there were different opinions on it.

    I have Internet Exployer because it was in this computer when I got it.

    I went to tools> internet options> general. clicked on settings by the delete> view files. found the cookie, clicked on it and deleted it.

    The next day, the same thing. I found the same cookie had returned so I went to tools>internet options> privacy> sites and typed in the name of the cookie> ok> and that blocked it.

    Source(s): When my computer is slow, I go to tools> internet options> general> delete> and delete the cookies, history and temp. files and my computer speeds up.
