why is my internet slow
My internet connection is very slow and sometimes will not open at all. any ideas how to find out the problem. I have recently installed Mcaffee as prior to this all seemed ok until I got virus 2009 9which I managed to remove.
also when I try to update Mcaffee it states that i must2 connect to internet so security center can download latest updates". Well as far as I am aware I am already connected 9as i am able to down load my e mails.
Last problem... I keep getting a message that I am low on virtual memory. How do I increase my virtualmemory. Are all these prblems related?

Don`t really know a lot about virtual memory, but I`ve googled and copied this.
Feelin' Mighty Low (on Memory)
When all of your computer's real physical memory (RAM) is in use, Windows will try to create virtual memory by grabbing a chunk of hard drive space and treating it like real memory. Your software can't tell the difference between real and virtual memory, but you might because virtual memory access is much slower, due to the hard drive activity it requires.
If you encounter the low virtual memory error message, then you have used the maximum amount of real plus virtual memory that is supported on your system. Sometimes programs that crash or ones that are poorly designed will not return their working memory space to the operating system when they're done using it. Other programs that need a large amount of memory to run may fail because Windows cannot "see" the available memory. In most cases, a shutdown and restart will resolve this problem.
It also suggests that you may need to install more ram memory.

Just realised you might not be able to connect to the link.
If you can manage to connect to internet, google crucial, let it scan your computer for ram. it will tell you what ram you have installed and what type you need to buy if you want to add more.
Write down the type that you need, then you can buy it somehere cheaper than crucial.
