[QUOTE="Shalma, post: 3355459, member: 829047"] Heh your downloading and uploading speed is not bad.. Internet seems running slow lately, after doing some research, I have found 5 major reasons why you have a slow Internet connection, let me share it with you: Reason #1 - Infected by Virus and Spyware, and they constantly consume my Internet bandwidth to send private information or establish a connection to the hacker's computer, this will breach Windows firewall because a port has been open and used to allow the hacker to gain access to your computer anytime! Reason #2 - Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) does not provide enough bandwidth as according to the agreement, you can always use some bandwidth testing website to verify the actual bandwidth you have, most ISP already provided such service, just look for the bandwidth testing feature or ask them to check for you. Reason #3 - Your Windows or router is not compatible with each other, causing extra overheads and slow down internet access dramatically. Vista has been reported to be incompatible with old router, if you have a router older than 2 years, there is a great chance your router is not compatible, prepare to replace it. Reason #4 - Your Internet browser was hijacked by unauthorized BHO (Browser Helper Object), and using the bandwidth to send your privacy data to the hacker. The constant connection or detect for connection will dominate your computer bandwidth and eventually freeze up during Internet connection! Reason #5 - Internet Explorer 7 is not optimized, too many checking and fancy features delays everything, you may want to use a faster browser! Probably the main cause seems to be Virus problem so try some good Antivirus with best features like: Bundled with Antivirus, Antispyware, Firewall, Browser Protection and on demand email scan for Outlook Fast Anti-Virus and Anti-spyware Protection Detects, blocks, and removes viruses, spyware, adware and rootkits… NEW QuickScan Lets you check for threats in the most commonly infected areas on the computer in less than 10 minutes and on modern machines within seconds. Web Site Safety Ratings Adds safety ratings to sites and search engine results based on comprehensive spam, adware, and online scam safety tests so you know exactly what website is safe to visit Anti-phishing Warns you before accessing dangerous scam websites that try to steal your personal information Identity Protection Let’s you shop, bank and trade online safely by asking permission before personally identifiable information like PIN’s, bank accounts, Social Security numbers are sent from your PC. Browser Secure Surf up to a dozen Web sites at once without worrying about any security threats, cookie spying, or being bothered by annoying popups. Be safe and secure with the Browser Secure and turn your Web crawling into safe, turbocharged Web browsing! So, I would suggest you to use McAfee Antivirus because I really found it best!! you can get it from [url=http://www.supportdock.com]Get a Fast and Clean PC with iYogi, Call iYogi @ 1-877-854-6888[/url] After doing all these check internet speed here [url="http://www.scanmyspeed.com/"]scanmyspeed.com[/url]once it will sounds better.
