Internet slow lately

[php]

I have broadband, but say the last few days most sites are loading noticeably slower than they did before. The bbc site is about the only exception that still loads fast.

I'm beginning to wonder whether my PC has been infected with one of those nasty viruses that use your computer to spew out spam, although my pc is protected by Norton Antivirus 2003 so that shouldn't be able to happen should it?

It's not necessarily your PC, just the general effect on the net.

you know the more people who use it the more slow it gets

Norton Anti-Virus will protect you from viruses but not from spyware/adware

Go to from Lizards Helping Claw coming to BGAFD soon...so I've been told

You can test your connections speed as well as finding out about programs that can remove any spyare/adware...full explanation of what they are in the viruses/spyware section on the left.

Another useful site for PC questions is
Lots of useful subjects discussed with a search facility

How slow is slow php and have you done any windows updates lately and if so which operating system are you running? as if you are running windows xp or home there is a certain file that microsoft ask you to download, i have experience of this file making a faster processor running like a pentium 200mhz processor all part of microsofts plan to slow you down while surfing the web and i have the information on a well and trusted source.

They run there own Website and built it from scratch even if it is a webcam and chat site.

The file for windows xp only is under critical updates and it is a security patch file numbered up 811493: Security Update (Windows XP),
if you download this file you will notice a dramatic change in the speed of windows xp you can remove this file with no problems and it won't cause damage like microsoft tell you.

I run an AMD Duron 700 Mhz Processor and mine was behaving like a Pentium 200 Mhz when i intalled this file just ignore the warning microsoft tell you when you remove this as it's crap it won't harm your pc or stop programs working.

you lot can slang me off as much as you like i really don't care but i have past this information on to my friends worldwide and since they removed the file there pc runs like it should.

if you have any problems email me. and i will explain how to remove this file and what messages will come up on your screen but this is only if you are running Windows XP Home Or Professional.
