taking long time to establish network connection(Ethernet Lan)

[gobi15]

hi,I am facing an internet connection issue after windows boot,There is delay about 90 seconds.sometimes around 2 minutes between reaching the desktop(when desktop appears&the network icon start spinning) & finally establishing network connection.
I tried several solutions found in the net but nothing worked,Finally I narrowed it down to the Avira Free antivirus. I thoroughly uninstalled Avira(though i should have tested in Safe Mode first)& network connection is immediate.
FYI I did not instalL Microsoft Security Essentials.
Is there any work around or solution so that Avira does not conflict with network connection & causing delay.Or can anyone who had faced the same problem recommend another antivirus.
Since its a free version Avira does not offer technical support.
Would appreciate if someone can help solve this matter.Thanks.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.

Have you tried resetting the entire network or the computers network configuration back to factory?

Run the Avira tool Rustys linked to
For antivirus for windows 7 use this free from microsoft

I’d suggest reinstalling Avira, then use Geekuninstaller, force mode to remove it.
Then use the Avira removal tool.
You can then search Avira with the Everything search engine and remove any remnants that way.
Also, check with Autoruns tool, to see if any drivers for Avira are still loading. They like to stick around sometimes, even after removed…

================================================== =========

Download adwarecleaner
Save it to the desktop run as admin.
Go to setting tab and make sure these are all on.

==========================================

Turn on the following.

Delete IFEO Keys.
Delete Tracing Keys.
Delete Prefetch Files.
Reset Proxy.
Reset Chrome Policies.
Reset TCP/IP
Reset Hosts Files.
Reset Winsock
Reset IE Policies
Reset IPsec
Reset Firewall.

Now go back to the dashboard, make a scan then when complete make certain everything is ticked.
Then click on Clean.
Then your machine should reboot.
Check the issue after the machine restarts.

================================================== ====================
Then tidy up the machine…

recommend another antivirus.

SecureAplus.
I’d also suggest, Xvirus free firewall.
Also, Ublock Origin to block ads and malicious sites.

Think I go this route.Instead of sticking to an already unsupported system,better to install Linux Mint to this ancient motherboard.Also anti virus companies including Avira had either already ended support for Windows 7 or planning to.
Sorry to all you guys for wasting your precious time.Admin, please mark this case as closed.
