A friend of mine kept saying networking is slow in windows 7 and over the years I have heard it from many people,so some fixes I found,
run->cmd(with admin privilege)->netsh interface tcp show global
in the output if the Receive Windows Auto-Tuning Level : normal
then
netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled
now see the output of netsh interface tcp show global
Receive Windows Auto-Tuning Level : disabled should be showing up
Remote differential compression should be off as old operating systems does not support this feature,it basically compresses data over the network
to do this you have to go to
control panel-programs-turn windows feature on or off and then clear the box beside remote differential compression
disable ipv6 from your lan adapter at it's properties
set duplex settings to 10mb/s half duplex
see for suspicious process in task manager
ipconfig /flushdns,net stop dnscache,net start dnscache commands should be useful,at the end netsh winsock reset should get the job done although a restart is required.
try using ccleaner for clean up of temporary files and registry clean
try using malwarebytes for a quick scan
go to msconfig and delete unnecessary programs at start up
make windows theme the classic one so that some ram frees up
for advanced scanning use hijackthis software
I guess that's it then.
