Hi, I use Windows 7 64-bit as my OS. I just moved into a new apartment, got the internet installed, and was using it for 2 days or so. Suddenly, it was taking much longer to load sites, then it would just show a "dns lookup failed, etc..." message. This happens regardless of browser used: chrome, opera, firefox, IE...
Strange thing is, that the internet connection is still very strong, and my service is 25 mb/s, so I still download torrents at speeds of 3 mb/s. It just can't seem to manage more than one thing. For instance, while downloading a torrent even at speeds of just 200 kb/s, if i try to check out websites, the DNS message will usually show up again by the 2nd opened page.
It's pretty much like this all the time though. I've used Hijack this, malwarebytes, and avg free version to get rid of whatever malicious thing might be in my comp., but no success so far.
Any suggestions would be great.
BTW, I'm a completely newb, so explicit instructions would be greatly appreciated.
