m1330 - Slow internet browser?

I just received my m1330 last week, and i love it! I am just wondering why my internet browser is running slow/different. It's not my internet connection that is slow, because i tested my connection and it's running quite quickly, its firefox, ie, etc. that is slow.

When i visit websites or click a link on a webpage, most times i have to click the link or the "go" button 2 or 3 times for it to even respond. I am running kaspersky AV, and i tried disabling it, but nothing changed. I believe all of the network drivers are updated as well.

Any insight would be appreciated, thanks alot

No idea. My 1330 surfs the internet quicker than any computer I have owned, but I eliminated a lot of the startup programs and background programs. How much ram do you have?

 

I have 2GB of RAM, but i believe i found the problem;

It was in fact, Kaspersky anti-virus, that was slowing down my browsing. Every time Kaspersky would update, it would start to slow down and make my internet less responsive.

 

even i experience the same problem...infact, my other computer on the same network responds much faster than the M1330...would really appreciate if someone can post a solution to rectify this...

 

My M1330 is also experiencing the same problems. Sometimes webpages in IE cannot load and say that it cannot display the wepage, and If i reload the page it works. I also have the newest wifi drivers. Anyone have any ideas?

 

I just received my new Dell Inspiron 1520 on monday and are experiencing the same slowish internet and have experienced the same things you have mentioned, moonbeam. I have core 2 duo, t5550, 2.5 gb ram, and at any given time the computer useage is anywhere from 4-9%. Any ideas? I am running Norton. I just don't understand if I have a good amount of ram and it isn't pushing any limits.

 

my studio 15 is the same, 3 gig of ram and very vast but ie and firefox are unresponsive, when i shut the browser down i always get the unresponding message

 

Opera!!!

have u checked task manager... how much ram+CPU usage is firefox using and tabs?
