windows slows down drastically when connected to the internet
I've installed windows 7 64bit on a brand new 500gb hard drive.
I've installed the basic software, i.e. antivirus and firewall.
I've ran and installed all windows updates.
The system runs beautifully until I connect to the internet.
As soon as I do this the whole system slows down to a snails pace.
Opening directories, starting software, browsing, everything.
once off the internet everything returns to normal.
Any pointers?
