Slow Broadband After malware removal
My hubby picked up a "winprotect" virus, it was removed by myself, but download speeds are greatly reduced still. Any ideas to gain the speeds back?
This comps specs are:
Compaq Presario
AMD 64 1.79gHz
1g ram
Router is Netgear RangeMax G 108mbps


:::.. Download Stats ..:::
Download Connection is:: 2243 Kbps about 2.2 Mbps (tested with 3072 kB)
Download Speed is:: 274 kB/s
Tested From:: http://testmy.net/ (Main)
Test Time:: 2008/05/12 - 10:02am
Bottom Line:: 39X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 3.74 sec
Tested from a 3072 kB file and took 11.219 seconds to complete
Download Diagnosis:: May need help : running at only 36.44 % of your hosts average (comcast.net)

Well, what did you get before you did that? Have you tried Safe Mode with Networking?

I usually average 4.5 to 5.5 mbps on this network. The other computers are getting the usual speeds, just not the recently "cured" one. I'm wondering if I missed something when I removed the virus. Any input is well loved and used. Thanks

Loaded up the lappy in SM with networking....Ran the same speed test and it's only running at 2mbps. Simialr laptop ran the same test within seconds at 4.7mbps. Also my Mcafee came up saying real time scanning and Spyware scanning was diabled. also says buffer overflow protection is disabled.

Safe mode disables lots of stuff, that's why we test things with it.

Is this a wired or wireless connection? If it's wireless, have you tried a wired connection to see if it works at full speed?
