Now its time to speed-up your internet connection.


There are many
applications that will use
your bandwidth in the
background, like Windows
Update, Windows Live
Messenger, Skype, Real
player, Adobe Reader
updates, and other similar
software. Most of them
usually start automatically
when you log on to
Windows and connect to
the Internet as soon as
there is a connection. This
means that these
programs use your
bandwidth when you are
not actually using them.
Most of these applications
can be configured not to
start on Windows log-on
or to at least ask
permission to connect to
the Internet. If you are not
sure which programs are
secretly using your
bandwidth, you can use a
free tool called Auslogics
Task Manager. With the
help of this program you
can track which
applications and processes
are consuming your
network traffic.
If your Internet connection
speed dropped all of a
sudden for no apparent
reason, check your
computer for malware and
spyware. Malicious
software often uses your
Internet connection to
send information to its
developers.
