Hi all,

I've been noticing the internet on my computer slowing down considerably of recent times, and it has got progressively worse over a couple of weeks and now it is unbearable.  The worst site appears to be facebook where half the images do not load anymore.

I've checked with other computers in the house and the internet works fine on them. I'm running wireless, however I tried hardwiring to the router and got the same result. I've tried resetting the router to no effect. I checked my wireless driver which is the most up to date for my machine. My thought is that is must be a virus, however I'm running AVG free, and I recently downloaded Malwarebytes and have run a few scans with each which don't appear to have any effect.

Can anyone provide any help or advice?

Cheers

My first thought is always to flush the DNS cache.
Open command prompt and type: ipconfig /flushdns
and see if that helps at all.
