Did you sacan the computer for viruses. Networks wouldn't just slow down on their own. What were you doing around the time when things started to slow down?

 

Yes I am running Avira antivir Personal.
The computer may have installed sevice pack 3 near that time.
I don't know if this could be a router issue.
Is there a way I can check my router to see if this could cause the problem?
I tried a speed test and the download speed was 9148 kbps and the upload test failed.

 

You could try a different port on the router, or maybe a new cable from the router to the computer.

You might try a program called Malware Bytes, but DO NOT post the results here.

What kind of internet connection do you have, Cable or DSL? Could it be you are using the internet when lots of other people are home watching Cable TV?

 

Today I tried a different port on the router, no change.I also powered down the router and cable modem. turned the cable modem on first waited a minute and powered on the router, this still did not help. My problem is happening at all times of the day or night. I will look into the Malware Bytes.
Thanks
Mike

 

Give me a status update after you have tried Malware Bytes

Thank-you for your efforts it is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again

Glad to know it was not a virus and just a simple replace hardware issue.
