Hi there,
I hope this forum will be my savior!
For a week now i have been struggling with slow internet that downloads at about 15 kb/s or less! Should be ten times that. I am running Vista with IE and Firefox - both equally slow.
At first I thought the problem related to windows updates but uninstalling them, and performing a system restore did not help. I ran Mcafee suite to look for a virus but found nothing. Nothing appears to be running in the background. I then cleaned out internet temp folders etc and defragmented my hard disk.
Since searching the net for a solution I have tried various things:
I switched off IVP6 and Mcafee phishing filter, uninstalled Norton and Mcafee virus scan and ran a netsh disable command. The option to rollback drivers is greyed out so I dont think a driver update is the issue. My only thoughts now are to replace Mcafee (though it has worked fine for me for a year), with antivir or similar, or revert to XP!
Anyone else got any ideas??? Sorry for the length of this post.....Any help will be much appreciated!!
