Let us try a stab in the dark here. Head to your hosts file and rename it
hosts.old for now. See if that makes a difference.

Are you trying to say that one shouldn't use the MVPS HOSTS file?

I'm saying that a bloated hosts file has caused some odd slowdowns in the
past and that if you rename it and see if there's a difference after that
you will know that is the issue. I'd generally never tell anyone what they
should and shouldn't use unless it's malware related.
