Solved: Slow internet connection due to spyware or virus? Yesterday, I downloaded a chinese media player, so I can play those chinese movies on a website. But I didn't like it, so I uninstalled it. But after I uninstalled it, I found that my internet connection was going slower than before I installed the program. I could only access some websites, like Google, but it's extremely slow. It used to take only half a second to load Google, but now it takes up to a minute just to load Google! I tried going to other sites, and I can only access some, but it takes forever to load them. 95% of the sites just display the "Page cannot be displayed" message. I thought it was spyware, so I did a scan with Spybot, but nothing was found. Nothing else is wrong in my computer except for the internet. I scanned many times, but nothing was found. Anyone have any idea what I could do?
By the way, only web pages won't work (tried accessing web pages in both IE and Firefox, but no luck). Programs requiring access to the web, like Windows Live Messenger works without problem. Hope this helps.
Thanks everyone! |
