    Slow Internet Browsing Problem


    Hi, I installed Windows 7 couple weeks ago and found out that the Internet browsing is really really slow. I reinstalled it twice and the same thing is happening. My computer has 4GB of RAMS and on E8400 processor so I dont think it's my computer's problem. I have tried IE8, Firefox, Google Chrome and all of them are slow.

    Is there anything I can do?
    Please help out.

    thanks

    ps: my download speed has no problem. fast as usual. it's just when I am browsing the internet sites using IE, FF, and GC.

    My laptop is on Win XP and its browsing fast but my desktop with Windows 7 is not. So there must be a problem with Windows 7 for me.

    Hi shun86, welcome to the forums.

    Are you running any bit torrent client that is downloading when you are browsing?

    If so have a look here https://www.sevenforums.com/network-i...py-medium.html and see if altering the setting changes your browsing experience.

    No, I wasn't downloading anything. Just straight web browsing.
    Don't know why it's happening.

    btw: thanks for the welcome :)

    Personally i'd swap AVG for Avast! i find the memory usage alone is much better than any other AV i've used to date.

    AVG has bundled "LinkScanner" in their product. You can either disable it or uninstall it. This part of AVG scans the web pages that you browse to see if they're okay. It's most likely the cause of your slow browsing.

    Read the faq here:
    http://free.avg.com/faq.num-1241#faq_1241

    If you want to keep AVG, then I would recommend uninstalling it, and reinstalling without 'linkscanner'. :)
