I bought a laptop fairly recently.
I'm using Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.
I had McAfee Security running as a temporary measure which has now expired. I downloaded AVG and up until yesterday the download speed was very fast but yesterday started running very slowly. I thought I might not have enough security and/or a virus on the laptop and after reading through the sticky I have run through the steps for 'How to clean an infected pc' (nothing much showed up on any scans). I still have the problem of very slow downloads though and was wondering would it have something to do with McAfee expiring?
The speed on the broadband shows between 48-54Mbps?
I'm not clued up regarding computers and unless this is fairly easily resolved would anyone know of/recommend somewhere I could take the laptop to have it fixed as its very frustrating to use when its taking so long to download?
(Its a Dell Inspiron 6400 Windows XP)
Thank you.
