My internet is slower after deleting virus with Windows Defender?
First off my internet connection is Windstream DSL and my OS is Vista Ultimate x64. Its been alright so far. My browser loaded fast and videos and such ie Youtube loaded very quick.Online gaming I averaged around 80 lat on my usual servers that I played on. CoD 4 Mainly. However about 2 weeks ago Windows Defender found some viruses on my computer. Two of which were quarenteened by Malware Bytes and one of which was a vundo that was inactive after I had done a system restore to get rid of it about 6 months ago. I was surprised that Defender had found it since I had done numerous sans by AVG and Malware Bytes after I got rid of it to make sure it was gone. I figured what the hell and deleted them with Defender. After I did that I started to notice a slow down in my internet. My browser was still loading fairly fast but there is a slow down in videos and gaming. I now average around 150 lat in the same servers I played on and I often have to pause and wait for videos to load that normally would just load faster than it played. Is there a reason that my internet is running slower after deleting something that would potencially slow down my computer? Please give me your thoughts. After testing my connection speed I came up with this: http://www.speedtest.net/result/537629072.png

Coincidence? Have you checked your actual current internet connection speed? You can test it here: http://www.speedtest.net/ Your speed should be within 10 or so or the rated speedtier that you are buying from your provider. If not conteact your ISP ASAP
