Internet is really slow on Vista

For a test, setup a wireless without security. Does that improve the speed?
Or this post may give you more details.

Hi everyone. I hope this is the right place, not sure where to get help for
this I cant find a solution online.

The internet on Vista is extremely slow. I know this because I have another
laptop and a PC with XP on it in my house, all connected to the same router
and internet is as it should be, fast. But when using my new Vista Laptop,
its slow. I have to wait like 10 to 30 seconds for web pages to load. Its
driving me nuts.

Now I know things like Macaffe/Norton slow things down so I have uninstalled
these. I am using the Windows Firewall and no AV right now (cant find
suitable free ones that work on Vista).

I disabled the Toredo/6to4adapter but they did not speed it up much.

I disabled the phishing checker thing, still slow.

I read online this is a common problem and many people have been rolling
back their network card drivers after updates to fix this issue, but as its
a new laptop i have no driver to rollback to, its greyed out.

So I dont know what else to try.

I have a HP Pavillion dv6000 laptop with Vista Home Premium.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

Laurie

Oh, and under Network Controllers I have:-
Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN
Nvidea nForce networking controller

My router is a Cable and Wireless, Wireless 11g ADSL Router

Thanks

Sorry, but not sure how to do that. How would you setup the wireless without
security? My slow laptop has Windows Firewall and no AV, but if I disable
Windows Firewall its still really slow. Is there anything else I should try
to disable to try and spot the culprit?

Also I tried the website... I dont have Macaffee and I cant see an optopn to
choose WEP in my Cable and Wireless ADSL router, it just shows options for
WPA.

Actually the WPA mode is Disabled anyway, even though there are no options
for WEP.

Also, I forgot to say in original post, I use Internet Explorer AND Firefox

Sorry I am being thick, you meant no security to connect to the router?? I
thought you meant on Windows somewhere...

I disabled security and still its slow

During the slowness (no matter with Firewall, no security etc etc) it says
"Looking up www.domainxxxxx.com" for a period of time then finds the site.
The other computers it just finds it straight away. But them sometimes its
OK, like if I revist the site after I have been there and waited previously.
Maybe something to do with DNS?

Actually sometimes it shows no status message, and sometimes shows "Waiting
for www.website.com"

I think I fixed the issue! I hope so, it all seems fast now....
As per other sites saying to uninstall a certain update (here's a site with
all the things I tried
http://www.vandersluijs.nl/index.php...-Solution.html), I
uninstalled the update but it was still slow. So I started uninstalling
other updates. After uninstalling a few at the same time then restarting my
internet seems back to normal!!! So its one of the following updates,
although dont know which one. I will have to re-install each one
individually (somehow) and see which one it is and then uninstall this one.
So uninstalling one of these sped up my internet big time!
