windows defender shouldn't make any difference. I had that for a couple of months when Tiscali and BT were doing updates on their exchanges. Check with your provider and get them to run a speed test and stuff, see what the problem is, report back

i think windows defender was interfering with norton internet security, got rid of windows defender & now download speed is back to normal will go on download.com & get spybot to check for any adware etc...but think pc is ok really.

yeah deffo sounds like it was interfering there. Does windows defender come bundled with a firewall? Never used it

good to hear its working again though
