download advanced windows care from http://www.iobit.com/beta.html
once installed click the big blue care button, also in settings set pc to top performance to get best out of it

Just tried this out. Looks good - registry repair, lightweight spyware check, defragger and more. And it's free.  

Good find

I've downloaded it and it found errors with:

1 Start up program
16 Add/Remove programs
6 File Extensions
1 Temp files
8 Custom controls
80 Deep scan

but it wants £29.99 to repair them - is it worth it?

Hi,
did you tried network performance arrangement in the link ?

NO! It did mine for free... How strange.

My gut feeling is that it is due to networking. Have you done a speedtest?

Dont waste your money they find errors for fun  i can run some really good spy/adware programs then try one of those free downloads & it finds lots of errors (bolox)

PS did you look in task manager under processes like i said for svchost.exe there is usually several one is often a virus thing that hogs cpu ...

if your pc is running fine speed wise apart from wehn you are online, then you can limit the problems to browser or internet connection.

Since you have tried a differentbrowser that rules that out.

if you want a registry cleaner, use ccleaner, it is free and will repair problems for free, aswell as remove any unwanted temporary files you dont need which will help the general performance, but if the problem is your connection that will still remain.

there are some commands you can use to try and clear some issues with this, but it may be something beyond your contriol, i.e. your isp.

if you dont know enough to check these yourself, you could always pm someone here in the know and try to get a netmeeting set up, this will let them have a look and rule most things out, or at least give you an idea of what may be the problem, make sure its someone you trust tho, as they will have a fair amount of access to your pc.

I wouldn't go round in circles trying reg cleaners, if you've a virus or the such they wont help, and if its a reg issue your likely to have slow performance full stop.

As I said earlier, try removing/uninstalling SpyBot.

If you have, or can get a hold of an xp disk.  Whack it in and launch the command prompt.  Type in sfc /scannow, let it repair your files.

[cem_devecioglu]

op.system is Vista :-/

[jimbobmccoy]

oh, well if its vista the best thing to do is partition your hard drive, install xp, and enjoy a working pc again.

Well, that looks b*stard slow from here...  

Do you usually get better than that? If so you must be sure by now that you don't have a virus/trojan/son/neighbour nicking bandwidth.

I guess it must be time for the long and winding road that is Tiscali tech support.   [smiley=thumbdown.gif]

Sorry Chopsdad. Let us know when you get off the phone in a couple of days  

P.S. just checked mine on the same server and all OK for my 2 meg cable - so it's your link and not the Speedtest server.

Your ping is way high too.
