    Ok so one day i decide to go online and the connection speed is horrible compared to what i usually have. (I Have Adelphia Cable, and i usaully download at 200 to 350 but now i'd be lucky to get 20 and this is off the same sites basically and the pages take forever to load so it seems like i have dial-up). I don't know what to do because it's connected but the speed is really slow but then sometimes it disconnects the reconnects after a minute or so. I thought that this was Spyware but it can't be because my brother has the same problem and he just reformed. Can it be the Router thow? If so how do i know whats wrong with it? Or can it be the Modem Box? I checked that those were connected right and reconnected all the wires and turned them off for 2 minutes still nothing so i was thinking it's a virus? But then my brother did a virus scan and still nothing but can it be a virus? If so what one and how do i get rid of it?

    Hi Masterigor

    ... and welcome to Wilders :)

    In the event it is malware, have you tried the steps listed in: General Cleaning Instructions?

    To troubleshoot the router, have you connected one of your systems directly to the modem to see if speed improves? To troubleshoot the modem, you may have to contact your ISP tech support and have them check your network connection.

    Regards,
