right now my internet is so slow,i was thinking of doing a windows repair. my provider says everything is fine on there end,i was thinking i did something to slow up the whole system by running regestry booster is this possible, also if run windows repair will i loose any of my currant files? i run a xbox 360 and 2 other pc off the same router i dont think its my pc or my fault, i disconnect the router and put straight to modem, the xbox gets somewhat better the pc's nothing better had a tech out today his numbers are with in spec he thinks its the router a netgear im not convinced
slow internet is almost always related to antispyware software. I use to use webroot spyware sweeper and that slow my internet to a crawl. My internet would dropout/hang, take a long time to change webpages etc. I tried other antispyware with the same problem. I no longer use antispyware software and havent had any slow internet problems.
My system
1. zone alarmfirewall 2. avira free antivirus 3. firefox browser
4. returnil virtual system. (used instead my antispyware software)
Also the free avg 9.0 started to slow me down that's why I changed to avira which sped me back up.
If you plan on repairing windows, make sure you make an image backup of your c: drive. You can use the free macrium reflect to do it. This image backup will let you return your computer back to how it was in case the repair doesn't work.
