Sunday, April 1, PM. Is anyone using AOL? I have the same slow problem but it doesnt seem to be anything to do with phishing filers and i dont have Mcafee. If other people are fixing the problem under vista the Mafee prob then it musent be vista. It seems to only be slow on peer to peer and youtube for me. Thursday, April 5, PM. One of the first things I did was uninstall McAffe but my connection is so slow, it times out very often.
My PC running XP on the same network flies. I'll try the netsh thing tonight and this link might help too?
Friday, April 6, PM. Thursday, April 12, AM. Any help would be reaaaaally appreciated if not i'll just switch back to xp and eat the cd of vista Thx a lot. Friday, April 13, PM. Can anyone help with internet problems on Vista! What is the fix? It is almost as if my keyboard is broken, you must type one character per second for it to come through on a web page plus the web pages loading is super slow and often unclear.
Monday, April 16, PM. Wednesday, April 18, PM. Im in the same boat. What do i need to do to fix this? Thursday, April 19, AM. Ok I am def ready to switch to a mac! I have run the system with all add-ins disabled, the microsoft Live OneCare disabled, windows defender disabled, etc. I have literally tried everything, disabled the phising filter, made sure my computers updates were updated and still internet problems!
I downloaded Mozilla Firefox latest edition and that seemed to fix the problem for a while but now both IE7 and Firefox are all running like the computer is an old Tandy POS. What is the cause and solution? It happens no matter which of the hundred ways I have connected to the internet, it's not the ISP, It's not the wireless, it's got to be Vista.
Anyone know how to fix? Thursday, April 19, PM. Thanks Ramon! I did the same on my new Dell machine and my connection is flying now. It is ridiculous just how bloated McAfee's products are! Wednesday, April 25, PM. This is a "me too" post just to say thank you to the people on this thread. Thanks all. I did same thing with my Dell, 'slow internet' problem was completely resolved. Thanks for any ideas! Thursday, April 26, PM.
I'm also having slow internet. Mainly during downloads and playing battlefield 2 online. I use to download at kps, now 32 and lower. It's not right!! I use to have McAfee, I uninstalled it because that's what the Vista advisor told me to do. So I'm still having slow internet download times and crazy lag. I'll try the turn off computer, router, modem, and turn them back on. Monday, April 30, AM. Hello there Tuesday, May 1, AM.

Hi Guys, my problem is, at start, with Vista, my internet will work fine, but after few minutes.. Saturday, January 5, PM. I have exactly the same issue.
Internet speed is fine for a minute or two then slows dramatically on my new Vista machine. My laptop which I am on now conncts fine wirelessly and hardwired to the router. Of course, it runs XP and not Vista. Guess my next step is to remove the Cox Security Suite on that machine as someone above suggested. I already turned off the anti-phishing filter on both IE and through Cox. No change. Sunday, January 6, PM. I looked into the netsh command on my system last night.
Come to find out, mine was already turned off. So I enabled and it was better last night. Not great, but it did improve. I also upgraded the firmware on my wireless router, but that didn't appear to improve anything. I did find a router compatibility tool on the Microsoft site and ran that and everything came back as 'supported'.
So, things have improved over what they were, but still not as quick as I think they should be. At least it was useable last night. Monday, January 7, PM. I have a problem with the slow Internet too, very much like everyone else. I've never really noticed it 'til lately, but the Internet has been going really crappy slow. Whilst playing online games such as World of Warcraft I get lags or spikes.
Either way you want to put it. It lasts seconds which is enough to annoy anyone in any game or just browsing online! I don't have McAffee, but I have Norton instead. I've tried disabling the things as stated in previous posts, but to no avail.
I have yet to try uninstalling the one Windows Update or all the Windows Update patches, though. Wednesday, January 9, AM. Friday, January 11, AM. Friday, January 11, PM. Thursday, January 31, PM.
Same problem on my brand new HP laptop. Thanks so much!!! Relying on the Norton and Windows defender security system with my router and all seems absolutely fine. Friday, February 1, PM. Tuesday, February 5, AM. Thursday, February 14, AM. Okay, I'll bite. Just what is this netsh workaround. I've done a search on the microsoft site, but have been unable to get a clear answer as to what command I need to input. Saturday, February 23, PM. Saturday, April 12, AM. I have been using Windows Vista Ultimate on my brand new Toshiba A but the net seems to be way toooooo slow and stops responding.
Even though my connection is supposed to be ideal but the lights on my router keep on blinking. Please if anyone knows a solution please email me at dude. Saturday, April 19, AM.

Can you help us improve? Resolved my issue. Clear instructions. Easy to follow. No jargon. Pictures helped. Didn't match my screen. We also recommend you install an antivirus program for active protection against viruses.
Today, spyware and other malware is a big cause of many computer problems, including slower performance. Even if an antivirus scanner is installed on the computer, we recommend running a malware scan as well.
Use the free version of Malwarebytes to scan your computer for malware. Verify that the Device Manager has no conflicts. If any exist, resolve these issues as they could be causing your problem.
To update a computer running Microsoft Windows, run Windows Update. To update a macOS computer, run Software Update. To upgrade the operating system, use the App Store. If your computer runs especially slow when you're using your web browser, considering disabling any browser plug-ins, add-ons, or extensions. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your computer hardware, especially the latest video drivers. Having out-of-date drivers can cause an assortment of issues, including slow performance.
We usually do not recommend registry cleaners. However, if you followed all the steps above and your computer is still slow, try running a registry cleaner on the computer. If you have had your computer for more than two years, you may need more memory.
By having enough memory for programs to run within memory, your computer doesn't need to swap information stored in memory to the swap file. If the hard drive light is continuously active, it's an indication the computer is frequently swapping information between your memory and hard drive.
One of the biggest bottlenecks of a computer is the hard disk drive. Make sure your computer and processor is not overheating. Excessive heat can cause a decrease in the computer's performance because most operating systems automatically reduce the speed of the processor to help compensate for heat-related issues. Dust, dirt, and hair can also constrict proper airflow inside your computer, which causes a computer to overheat.
Make sure your computer case is clean, and that the fans are not obstructed. Increasing the speed of the processor CPU can improve your computer's performance. There are two options for increasing processor speed: overclocking or upgrading.
Overclocking a processor means increasing its speed beyond what it's designed to run stably.
