slow broadband after windows update
      #360539 - Wed Aug 08 2007 11:16 PM

recently got myself a scaleo 1515 p series with 2gig of ram, 2.13 ghz duo core processor, which was working brilliantly until 1of2 things has caused my download speeds to drop drastically. I'm on a wireless network on 1 meg connection with AOL.

Whenever previously downloading, i consistantly got a 120k/bps download speed, now i'm getting approx 35k/bps here's what may have caused it and if anyone can help I'd appreciate it!!

Scenario

1) when looking at windows updates, i had 1 outstanding update which was optional, it was for "Via Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter" i updated this as i thought it was something that may well improve.

2) also at the same time my subscription to norton anti-virus expired and i have nothing to tell me if i've got a dodgy virus.

I've already uninstalled the Via Rhine adapter and reinstalled it, but this did nothing to help, if anyone knows what to do it be very grateful.

I've since got AVG free virus protection
thanks
