Friday, March 16, AM. Hello Jigsaw-ols, I have found that this has been addressed a few days ago and should appear in the RTM product.

Thanks, Louis Shanks AppCompat. Friday, October 13, PM. Would you be able to send a code sample? Thursday, October 12, PM. Yes, netsh solved my problem. Friday, October 27, PM. Sunday, March 11, PM. I have the same problem and am looking for a solution Wednesday, March 14, PM. After numerous hours on the phone with my manufacturer downloading patches, resetting the machine etc , we finally discovered that the problem was indeed McAfee.

More specifically, it was the Phishing Filter. I just had to go back into McAfee to disable the annoying messages that I wasn't fully protected. Hope this helps. Tuesday, March 20, PM. Have tried just about everything there is to try.. Anyone else? Same issues here - brand new computer running vista - can take up to a half hour to load some pages.

Downloading anything right now isn't even an option.. Thursday, March 22, PM. Saturday, March 24, PM. Ramon Pfabeo. Sunday, March 25, PM. Both connections give the same slow speeds!

Sunday, April 1, AM. Guys I love you all. Advised my girlfreind to buy her new laptop from Dell. She had an old compaq laptop and this was running faster on the net than this shiney new Dell. Dell ship McAfee crappy security centre as standard so I did as you advised and disabled Phishing filter.

Wow, sorted it out straight away. Me thinks I'm in store for good head tonight ;- Thanks guys. Sunday, April 1, PM. Is anyone using AOL? I have the same slow problem but it doesnt seem to be anything to do with phishing filers and i dont have Mcafee. If other people are fixing the problem under vista the Mafee prob then it musent be vista. It seems to only be slow on peer to peer and youtube for me. Thursday, April 5, PM. One of the first things I did was uninstall McAffe but my connection is so slow, it times out very often.

My PC running XP on the same network flies. I'll try the netsh thing tonight and this link might help too? Friday, April 6, PM. Thursday, April 12, AM. Any help would be reaaaaally appreciated if not i'll just switch back to xp and eat the cd of vista Thx a lot.

Friday, April 13, PM. Can anyone help with internet problems on Vista! What is the fix? It is almost as if my keyboard is broken, you must type one character per second for it to come through on a web page plus the web pages loading is super slow and often unclear.

Monday, April 16, PM. Wednesday, April 18, PM. Im in the same boat. What do i need to do to fix this? Thursday, April 19, AM. Ok I am def ready to switch to a mac! I have run the system with all add-ins disabled, the microsoft Live OneCare disabled, windows defender disabled, etc.

I have literally tried everything, disabled the phising filter, made sure my computers updates were updated and still internet problems! I downloaded Mozilla Firefox latest edition and that seemed to fix the problem for a while but now both IE7 and Firefox are all running like the computer is an old Tandy POS. What is the cause and solution? It happens no matter which of the hundred ways I have connected to the internet, it's not the ISP, It's not the wireless, it's got to be Vista.

Anyone know how to fix? Thursday, April 19, PM. Thanks Ramon! I did the same on my new Dell machine and my connection is flying now. It is ridiculous just how bloated McAfee's products are! Wednesday, April 25, PM.

This is a "me too" post just to say thank you to the people on this thread. Thanks all. I did same thing with my Dell, 'slow internet' problem was completely resolved.

Need some help guys. I built my first build about a month ago and installed this 64 bit Vista. It's slow when I go online.

Sometimes it's unresponsive when I click a link in one tab, switch to another tab and press a link there I use Firefox.

When I go on [H], I like looking at the post your workstation pics to see what guys are doing these days with their PCs and the pics are slow to come up. I don't think I shortchanged my build, sig below but I really don't know what's wrong. Mithent [H]ard Gawd. Joined Dec 19, Messages 1, System looks fine to me. Anything suspect in Task Manager, like processes with high CPU utilisation or running out of RAM look at the green "Memory" graph, not the free physical memory beneath it, which should be low?

Is the whole system slow, or just Firefox? Archer75 Supreme [H]ardness. Joined Oct 10, Messages 6, You could do a trace router to hardforum. Everything is where it should be. I rebooted the router and modem, directly plugged the PC into the modem and still same thing. This post helped me to fix the issue of Windows 10 very slow and unresponsive. Click to tweet.
