At about one o'clock two nights ago, with nothing better to do, I decided to upgrade my ESET Smart Security 4 to Smart Security 5. This is probably irrelevant, as I noticed this slow down just before uninstalling version 4. I didn't take much notice of it till this morning when I realised how bad it was. It takes a full minute to load the regular Google home screen, Facebook loads only the first couple posts and I can't search anything on Google at all.

Using a Telus 2Wire 2700HG-E-Gateway

The affected computer is a custom built computer:
>64bit Windows 7
>Intel Core 2 Quad CPU at 2.40 GHz
>7GB RAM
>GeForce Ti 550 1GB
>P965 mobo
>Cable connection to a modem

I would tell the Up&Down speeds along with ping, but speedtest.net isn't loading. It says I don't have the latest install of Javascript and flash, but I do.

Programs telling me there are no problems:
>ESET SE5
>Microsoft Essentials
>Malewarebytes' Antimaleware
>Tuneup Utilities 2012
Those basics are probably good enough.

The computer I'm on the same network as:
>32bit Windows 7
>Gateway Netbook with Intel Atom N270 1.60GHz
>1GB RAM
>Wifi (DownSpeed: 3Mbps, Upspeed:0.79Mbps, ping: 55)

I've tried:
>Switching cables to modem
>Running all those programs mentioned trying to find problem
>Defragmenting
>Checkdisc
>Fiddling with the Network And Sharing Center, nothing's wrong(Tell's me I'm connected and stuff)
>Notsh int ip reset c:/resetlog.txt
>Google for hours (Majority of the time it magically fixes itself)
>Attempting to find a good/different DNS now with Namebench, but I don't think that'll work because it only effects this one computer.
Nope. That didn't work. This computer's a little faster now though...

Things I can do with what works:
>Download/upload/share things within home network
>Download/upload things through Facebook messages at a normal rate (Once the page loads, which can range from 15 minutes to an hour)
>Sometimes Google things.

I feel terrible that it's come to my asking for help. I normally avoid that as much as possible. I am bloody frustrated.

ipconfig.txt attached

Let me know if you need more information.

I notice you have Microsoft Essentials & ESET running.

You might want to remove both of programs and any other 3rd party System tune up program to start the troubleshooting.


Also you can try press F8 before Windows start loading and select Safe Mode with Networking, the screen will revert back to basic graphics but you should able to start IE there and testing.

 

[boucleinfinie]

Yes I do. I had been informed and found myself that they have no problems when installed together. I have that same configuration running on my netbook here as well. I have been running all those programs since I received either computer. I suppose I could try.


Within safe mode with networking, I still get the same problem. I think my only choice will be to restore a previous version, unless those were deleted in my last maintenance.

 

[boucleinfinie]

Turns out the restore point WAS deleted. The uninstalling of the programs didn't work either. I'm going to look for something I found back with one of my old computers. I just remembered that I may or may not have had the same problem with a ****tier computer when I was 13. I found a fix for it then, but I think it was XP specific.

 

[boucleinfinie]

Nope. That didn't work.

I'm now going to borrow a wireless adapter from a mate of mine and see if that does anything.

 

[hoyin007]

Since that is a netbook, do you happen to have a USB CD drive?

If so try boot a Ubuntu 11.10 (without install) and see you can get internet connection from there.

 

[boucleinfinie]

Okay, thanks for that, but I think I isolated it to a problem with the modem. I connected multiple laptops to the modem via cable, and they all had the same problem. I've got a wireless adapter working right now. I'm going to get a new modem and see if that works any. I was thinking about getting a new one anyway because mine is still from 2002 or '03 or something. If that doesn't work, I don't know what I'll do. I'm pretty sure it will, though.
