Weird Problem with my Internet? - weeniehuttjr - 04-08-2014 07:36 PM
Ok so here it is... Whenever my desktop computer is just turned on, it slows down the internet for any other device using our wireless internet. My desktop is hard wired with an ethernet cable and isnt using the internet for anything at all.... I checked all of the programs that run in the background in the notification area, nothing is downloading at all. I don't think i have a virus because my anti virus keeps coming up clean... please help the only way to fix is to just shut my computer off or put it to sleep which ends up fixing the issue and becomes very annoying. Please help D:

Be careful about loading anti-malware or anti-virus programs. Some are viruses, themselves.
Load some of these free programs:
1. TcpView (This shows connections of your computer to websites. Some might be stealing your info). If you find an undesirable website connection, terminate it by entering it in your hostfile. Also, go to the control panel, internet options, security (block it), and privacy (block it).
2. Spybot Search and Destroy (operate in advanced mode, but be careful about removing things, check to see if you should by googling the info).
3. Ad-Aware
4. SpywareBlaster
5. Ccleaner (fix the registry...with all items checked).
6. HijackThis (use only on advice from someone on the internet).

Reset your router, reset your computer, or try MalwareBytes. You could also try to boot it in safe mode to see if your internet slows down anyway
