    Windows 7 Massive Amounts of Network Traffic / Packets

    Feeling kind of dumb.. I was just staring at both status's when I noticed in Windows 7 it says "Bytes:" not "Packets" like in XP.. lol does that explain the difference in rate? If so, at least the situation helped me get rid of malware. I still am experiencing slow downloads/browsing on the...

    Windows 7 Massive Amounts of Network Traffic / Packets

    Hello, I purchased a new Dell XPS 17 and have previously been a long time user of XP. One big reason I am already not a fan of Windows 7 is because while some things have improved other things have gotten worse. By far this is the worst problem: In XP my Duration online can be 1-2 days and...
