Re: speed

Yes, thank you.

Did you happen to notice if your internet issues began after installing Freedom Security & Privacy?

You do have 2 AV's installed and running on your system which is never a good idea. Choose 1 and uninstall the other via the Add/Remove programs. Personally, I'd choose AVG 7.5 over Freedom Security.

After you've uninstalled 1 and rebooted, let me know how the system is behaving. If you can, I'd like to get an online scan done:

Perform an online scan with Internet Explorer with Panda ActiveScan
  1. Click on located at the bottom of the page.
  2. A "pop up" window will appear. * Please ensure that your pop up blocker doesn't block it *
  3. Enter your e-mail address, country, and state & click "Free Online Scan" *The download of the 8 MB Panda's ActiveX control will take place*
Begin the scan by selecting
  • If it finds any malware, it will offer you a report.
  • Please ignore any entry it finds and the offer to buy the program to remove the entry, as we will address this later.
  • Click on then click
* You needn't remain online while it's doing the scan but you have to re-connect after it has finished to see the report.
* Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan


Post those results here please.
