pc runs perfectly all the time till i connect to the internet wether on dial
up or broadband via ethernet or usb
it starts off fine for first 2 web pages then gets slower and slower to load
until after 5 /6 pages it takes 30 mins to load or times out and have to end
program
therer are no viruses no adware no spyware present as have scanned all
system
all settings are correct
any ideas out there?
 
How much RAM do you have, How much virtual memory is
allocated? Have you cleared the temp Internet file cache
lately? How about defragging?

defragged
all cookies and temps cleared
1 gig of ram
windows standard allocation of virtual ram
 
Do you have your firewall turned on? It really sounds like
some processes are running in the background. What programs
are you using to scan for spyware, I run both SpyBot 1.3
free from www.safer-networking.org and Ad-Aware free
www.lavasoftusa.com and I check for updates before weekly
scans.
I run Zone Alarm because it monitors and logs in and
outbound Internet traffic. ZA is free from www.zonelabs.com
Do you have any server or file sharing running on your
computer? These can take over and if you must do P2P be
sure to set the band width allowed. In general, you do not
need any servers or server services running on a home or
office computer.

Check www.blackviper.com to see what you need and what can
be turned off. Good luck.

Troubleshooting can be a long process or trial and
elimination. The worst thing is that there can be more than
one cause.
First make the machine as perfect mechanically as you can.
Second make the software run properly on the local machine
Last make the Internet work, this is dependent on the whole
system being correct, so use the ping and tracert tools and
several different on-line monitors.

You can get various tools, some for free,to check the total
system. Sourceforge.net has a wide range of tools and
software that can help you. http://sourceforge.net/
Also I have nice results from the programs at
http://www.freshdevices.com/

You can do on-line scans at www.pcpitstop.com and they
suggest fixes for found problems.

Good luck.
