Browser speed slow, but low ping & VoIP is fine.

[Doxxy]

Basically the title, I'm using a HomePlug for my setup and I was getting full speeds (4MB/s down and 1.8MB/s up) but recently my browser has been running slow. I've DNSBenched, namebenched and added about 5 different DNS servers and ipconfig /flushdns'd my PC several times. I don't know why it's doing this, but it's damn annoying.

Yes.

Chrome (mainy) and FF and IE

It could be a slow computer, or -*gasp*- adware.

Anitvirus' block virus's, and usually they neglect to detect even other forms of malware, which is predominant. 

 

I said adware, not virus. Run adwcleaner, it's the best program for cleaning up that adware gunk.

I have common sense. I run most things in sandboxie that look suspicious.

Adwcleaner found like 4 registry entries but nothing else.

That's good, your PC is very clean compared to some others. The problem could be your router being clogged up with data transfers while you are using it, but it didn't happen to be while you were benchmarking the speeds. It's unlikely, but there's nothing else to really go on.

Dude, you asked for advice, stop being obnoxious and take shadow's advice.
