Necessary
- - computer
- - Internet connection
Instructions
Step 1
To check the speed at a given time, you will need to use a special service. The resources that provide the speed detection service are now plentiful. They are all different, each has its own advantages, but today we will consider measuring the speed of the Internet using the example of the service "I'm on the Internet!" Yandex.
Step 2
First of all (and this is a prerequisite!) Check your PC for viruses and other malware. Turn on your antivirus and let it run and scan your PC. If viruses, spyware and other pests are detected, remove them. After that, I advise you to run the antivirus again in accelerated mode to make sure that your PC is in good order.
Step 3
Only after such a thorough and thorough check can you disable antiviruses, firewalls, antispyware, torrents and all other network programs installed on your PC.
Step 4
Then we check the network activity of your computer. To do this, right-click on the network connection "Status". See how the situation with received and sent packets is developing. In the event that the number of received and sent packets is quite stable, there is no reason to worry. But if their number is constantly growing - definitely, either a virus remains in your PC, or you have disabled not all network programs. In this case, run the antivirus again and turn off all network programs.
Step 5
Go to the Yandex website and go to the "I'm on the Internet!" Service page. Click on the "Measure speed" option. After that, just wait a minute, no more steps are required. Soon, the service will provide you with information about the incoming and outgoing speed of your Internet.
