I have charter high speed. It takes forever for me to go from page to page. Very slow. What could be causing it? I have deleted all temporary cookies and files and also defragged. Nothing is wrong. No adware. Scanned for everything. Says its ok., but very very slow. Have had Compac computer 6 months.

It could be that your connection is limited at the modem, you would have to look at your specific modem's configuration. Also, when on a cable connection, your speed is determined by how many other people are using the same cable line (neighbors, etc.)
If you are using wireless, that is slower that a wired connection still. Also if the wireless connection is not secured, other people can be using your connection too.

Sounds like somthing is stealing bandwidth.
Do you have any apps that are set to automatically update them selves?
If you do then try turning the auto update option off, the only other thing that usually does this sort of thing is spyware, adware etc and you said that you have checked for that and found nothing.
Just have a look at what you have running that uses bandwidth and then go from there.

check the browser speed
try uninstalling tool bars,
go to internet options,
advanced,
and deselect the things u dont need...like u can avoid videos and flash from opening in explorer window,
dont allow pictures..
If it is still slow,
u may got a worm or trojan which your antivirus program cant find...Put a complete scan..
Have a nice time...

Check your Internet Speed. Try to download AVG antivirus from AVG website, it is free. Scan with it...

go to pcpitstop and run a full scan of your system. It will then provide you with a complete picture of your system and what could be wrong.
