Internet Connection Slowed

by j_aaberg . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

Just about a week ago now we upgraded our dial-up to a satellite internet connection. It was working great up until a few days ago. I have a younger brother who was on Windows Live Messenger and had clicked on one of those virus/spyware hidden links. After I found that out I had to spend $40 to renew our McAfee Security Center which we had not been using for around 3 months due to not re-subscribing. So I ended up buying and downloading that, then I realized that surfing the web become very slow compared to what it was at when we had gotten our new internet. I don’t know if it is because of the virus/spyware that my younger brother clicked on or because of the newly updated McAfee. I have been trying everything I can think of and frankly I am out of ideas. I am only a Junior in high school so if it is an obvious problem please don’t give me too much grief ;). But I would really appreciate anybodies insights on what the problem could be and how to fix it. Thanks.
