My internet is running weirdly and hardly working, help?

For the past few days my internet has been running really weirdly.

It’s been running very slowly, keeps freezing, I have to try many times for a website to work. When I click on a website it sometimes diverts me to other random websites. Also I can’t access my emails on Yahoo Mail.

I’ve also been getting numerous pop ups, I tried uploading screen shots on several different image hosting sites but none of them are working it just says ‘Done’ in the bottom left corner of the screen but it won’t upload! The pop ups advertise things like ‘Car Insurance, Aspirin Canadian Pharmacy, Cheap Insurance’ and the other pop up I got when I went on Tiny Pics says ‘Looking for photos?, Your Computer under attack! Download anti virus now!, Free Movies Online at…’

I have run MalwareBytes, Spybot Search and Destroy, Panda Cloud, and Norton 2011 anti-virus programmes. Only Norton detected viruses but even when those were removed the problems persists and has even gotten worse.

Can anyone please help me? I don’t know what to do!

Could you check my mistakes in my writing?

Could you be so kind and check my mistakes? It is very important for me. Thank you!

“Meeting Customer expectations
All customers are different, and they will have different expectation. For each online businesses is very important to meet customers expectation and their wants. Nowadays, customer expectations are constantly rising. Sometimes it is higher that in the offline environment. To respond to increasing expectations, online businesses must improved products and services to meet customer demands.

Depending on type of business customers expectation may include installation or connection of chosen product. Most businesses like PC World or Currys provide additional cover or guarantees on their items.
For example, to meet customer expectation in term of delivery of items, play.com deceived to offer free delivery for each customer.

The challenge for the English language school is to understand what customer expectations will be. Possible a part of its customers will contact with school via online contact form or email. It is very important to keep response time as low as possible. If you sent send enquiry email, how long do you want to wait for response? Most online businesses provide response within 24 hours but the English language school should provide shorter time. If a customer will receiver faster respond form different competitive business he or she may decide to enrol into different language school.

Ensuring maximum exposure
Many Businesses use the internet to advertise, sell their product/services and promote. If the business is not registered with search engines no one will know that the business exists. Search engines promotion is extremely important element in internet marketing. Without search engine promotion strategies, the search engines like Google or yahoo will not promote a website, and it will not show up high enough in search results. For example if you type “language courses” into Google search box there are over 87 pages of result. Is potential customer more likely to click on webpage which comes up on first page or next pages? What do you think? If you looking for something do you look through all pages of search result? If the business is not registered with search engines no one will know that the business exists.”
businesses is very important – businesses it is very importante
businesses must improved products – businesses must provide improved products

Why doesn’t the advanced Member Search work?

I’m convinced that the Advanced Member Search won’t work because Yahoo wants you to sign up for their “Meat Market”. They don’t want you meeting others online unless you pay for it. Hence, they tease you with the advenced search when bandwidth is cheap…and as an advertising gag…then, they switch it off.

PAY…and you can look all day long. Free? No way.

The Advanced Member Search will never work regularly again….only when ‘BIG BROTHER’ wants to tease you.

Am I wrong? Prove it. Yahoo? Got the guts to reply? Prove me wrong??

False Advertising / Testing Whether or Not Slogans are True?

I’m now doing a science project in school where we have to test companies slogans and such to find out if they are actually true, and I’m a bit short on ideas as I can’t remember any ads which can be tested. So if anyone has any good ideas about slogans which can objectively be tested, please tell me.

Promotional Ideas for Small Business?

I’ve been running my own jewelry business for a couple of years. It’s mainly a side hobby thing that I do – it certainly doesn’t make enough money to constitute a second job, though we do parties and craft shows. People like our products, and we have a nice base of customers that know us well.
This year I’d like to find some free places to advertise my business and its website, and perhaps some craft consignment places?
I already am on etsy (just a few items for now), I have a website with a domain matching the name of my business, and I am opposed to using ebay because fees are much too high.
I am wondering if anyone knows of other sites like etsy, or places to put up pages free that can advertise my business?
I have an LJ about to be published, and a page attached to my facebook. I also have a myspace for our business.
Other suggestions are appreciated.
Also, if anyone knows of craft consignment places in Massachusetts or southern NH, that would be also appreciated.

I am attempting to sell handmade jewelry online? Any advice out there?

This is my website: www.petitebijouxss.com
I listed my products on etsy, google and amazon as well. I am just wanting to sell my products and any advertising/promotional ideas would help. Any feedback is great! Thank you!
