Slow!
My computer is squeaky clean, I have plenty of space, my speed is testing good...so why are downloads and pages taking FOREVER to load?! I've rebooted and reset my DSL modem until I'm blue in the face. I have Kaspesky security, but I also ran Avast...not a virus or anything showing.

It could be your internet service itself. Mine was so slow for over a month, like dial-up and I called and complained and it miraculously got better.

Check to see how many programs, especially antivirus and toolbars you are running. Delete excess. I use Advanced System Care Pro too but the free version is alright. Pro lets you check for and recommends what to do on start up and has other tools that are very helpful.

Have you tried a different browser?

Have you spoken to your internet server? Maybe they are having problems on their end or there could be a problem with your modem?

Thanks all. I have tried everything I can think of and taken all suggestions. Going to do a clean install of my security now.
