So I recently bought this HP Pavillion DV3 because I have an Acer 4730z which does not have enough performance speed for gaming... so around a week later after buying my HP DV3 I have been experiencing slow internet speed although the signal of the wifi is just the same as the Acer... I need help, I have uninstalled Internet Related Applications Like YTD,UTorrent but still the internet speed is slow compared to the Acer which does not even show a little Lag in gaming... Please Help TYVM

The Full Model Name of the HP DV3 is DV3-4036TX.... The Wireless Chip is fully functioning, I think there is a virus that blocks the full internet access for me to use...

check for any preinstalled software that manages bandwidth.
My new MoBo came with AMD Quick Stream and it regulated my internet based on how i was using it. took me a month to figure out what it was and as soon as i turned it off... my internet worked fine again.

depending on the manufacturer there could be any number of different programs. look under the installed program list (or the uninstall program area mycomputer / Uninstal or change a program and look for something that might be managing bandwidth
 


Decrapify is a free program that is good of getting rids of this type of preinstalled junk.

this wasnt preinstalled junk. i built my computer from scratch. this was a portion of the AMD All in One driver package for my motherboard driver disc. this same install includes drivers for things like USB 3.0 drivers, chipset drivers, dual channel support, raid, SATA, ect... you basically have to install this driver unless you want to manually pull all the other drivers for everything on your motherboard.
AMD Quick Stream is just one of those things it installs with this driver that you cant avoid. but.. removing it is as easy as uninstalling it. you dont need to download additional 3rd party software to uninstall another piece of software only to then uninstall the 3rd party software that allowed you to uninstall the software that you could have just uninstalled. see how dumb that sounds lol..

just uninstall the software.

Thank you BajungaDustin for identifying the problem and solution so well.
Decrapify is a stand-alone program that does not require installation. It just runs and finds all the bloatware that came packaged with your new computer and uninstalls it. I have used it to clean up many new computers and find it to be an invaluable tool but did not think to use it on my laptop when I had this problem myself.
