(Not Responding) message; websites freeze

[Charles Eversole]

When I go to most websites, they freeze and give a (Not
responding) message across the top line, particularly
when I try to click on something within the site to open
a secondary focus (i.e. trying to register a product that
I've bought by clicking 'register' on mainpage of
company's site). They go so slow that it is maddening.
This has gotten worse over the past few months. Is there
some setting I might change in regards to security,
cookies, or the like? What causes this?
