Hello @,
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
 
You might want to be sure you have a good connection. I would clear out Yahoo's cace/history/cookies.
 
You didn't mention what browser you are using. If you are using Internet Explorer,  you could try a different browser such as FireFox or Chrome. .
 
 
Hope this helps and if not please get back to us.
 
 
Kind Regards,

    Hi @
     
    You are welcome. Let us know if you still need more help.;)
     
    Edited: Increase the browser disk space allotment. On the menu again click 'Tools', click 'Internet Options', click 'General' tab, scroll to browsing history, set 'Disk space usage' at 250MB or 500MB, click 'OK' to finish.
