Internet has slowed down

Hey,

Recently, my internet has become slower than usual i.e. websites are taking longer to load and some are not even loading.
I have recently removed my trial version of Norton antivirus and installed microsoft security essentials. I believe at this moment the internet started to function more slowly. Has this got anything to do with why the internet is so slow.

I have also run a Hijack log of which i have attached below. Please can you tell me if there is anything that is not normal.

What sort of connection are you on? Wired or wireless?

Also, you have tons of broken registry entries in your log, and I see a couple of processes that I don't trust and may be malware. Please follow the steps in my Slow Computer Rant and see if it helps your browsing speed:

deanj20 Slow Computer Rant said:
The first thing I would do is completely uninstall anything that says Norton or Symantec. It's a major resource hog. Follow the steps in this post, and we'll replace it with something equally effective and less demanding.

Next, download rkill.exe and Malwarebyte's Antimalware.

Boot into Safe Mode and run rkill, then Malwarebytes Antimalware and remove anything it finds.

After that, download and install Piriform CCleaner. Run the program, and on the left hand side select Registry. Scan and Fix Issues. Continue scanning for/repairing issues until it doesn't find anymore.

Then, if you're like 90% of Windows users, you probably have a ton of extra programs starting up automatically when Windows starts up. You can disable unneeded processes from starting up by doing the following:
Go to Start-->Run-->type in 'msconfig' and hit <enter>

In the Startup tab, uncheck everything that you do not need running in the background at startup and click "Apply." Alternatively, you can just click "Disable All" and then go back later and re-enable any process you find you actually need on startup.

Then, in the Services tab, check Hide All Microsoft Services, uncheck everything that you do not need running in the background at startup and click "Apply." Again, you could just click "Disable All" and go back and re-enable certain processes later if you find that you need them running on startup.

Restart the computer.

Next, download and run the executable for TrendMicro HijackThis!. Post your scan log here and we'll see if there's anything else that needs to be looked at.

You should probably install a free anti-virus to help keep you protected (these aren't nearly as taxing on your memory as Norton). I prefer AVG Free Edition, but I've heard good things about Microsoft Security Essentials as well. Avira AntiVir and Avast! are two more options. Please install one of these programs to help keep you virus free.

You should also defragment you harddrive. This can be done using the Windows Defragmenter found under Start-->Accessories-->System Tools-->Disk Defragmenter. Alternatively, you can use a 3rd party disk defragmentation program such as Auslogics Disk Defrag.

Reboot the computer.

After you've done all of these things, please wait until the computer is idle (no programs loading/scanning/etc), and hit ctrl+alt+delete and make note of your CPU usage at the bottom of the popup window, and any programs using more than 10,000K in the process list.

On your next post, please give us your computer specifications if you haven't already. And please include the HijackThis! Log, your idle CPU usage, large running processes and an update on how your it is running.

Good Luck! :D

I am on wireless.

I have found there was a problem with a connection between the router and the line. Originally the router was connected to the line via an DSL extension line. However i have situated the router near to the telephone socket and it seems to have done the trick.

I also ran rkill and antimalaware of which found i found no infections.

I also ran piriform cleaner and removed unneccessary registry keys.

I haven't defragmented the hard drive or disabled some of the programs on startup as there seems to be no problems any more.


I have however ran a new hijack log. Please see below

What sort of connection are you on? Wired or wireless?

Also, you have tons of broken registry entries in your log, and I see a couple of processes that I don't trust and may be malware. Please follow the steps in my Slow Computer Rant and see if it helps your browsing speed:

Quick note for you john, in your rant above, the auglostics link isn't valid. You may want to update it.

I am on wireless.

I have found there was a problem with a connection between the router and the line. Originally the router was connected to the line via an DSL extension line. However i have situated the router near to the telephone socket and it seems to have done the trick.

I also ran rkill and antimalaware of which found i found no infections.

I also ran piriform cleaner and removed unneccessary registry keys.

I haven't defragmented the hard drive or disabled some of the programs on startup as there seems to be no problems any more.

You really should do the defrag and remove stuff from startup. It will make your computer boot a lot quicker, and be faster the entire time it is on. The defrag can take a while, so maybe set it before you go to bed, and it will be ready to go when you wake up. I did this, and it really gave my computer a quickstart.
