Hello. I have a problem, and I am not sure how to fix it. When I get connected to the Internet, my systems gets noticeably slower, and sometimes it even completely blocks. I do not know what to do, because it really gets on my nerves, and it makes my time on the Internet a terrible experience. I have recently installed Opera, could it be causing the problems?

Well, last version of Opera is very demanding, and uses a lot of RAM and virtual memory. If your PC is a bit older, and has less than 512MB RAM installed, as I know, you might be experiencing some problems. The problems gets even more serious if you usually use some other programs too, while using Opera – such as messengers, some peer to peer programs, antivirus programs etc. So, you should check on your RAM memory and try to upgrade it a bit in order to make your PC perform faster. Otherwise, you should try some other, less demanding version of Opera, or some other browser – Mozilla Firefox for example.
