I finally confirmed it, but apparently, when I watch YouTube videos, my modem is constantly downloading... even when the video has finished loading or I closed my browser completely.

Apparently, what I'm forced to assume is that either avast!'s Web or Network shield is scanning huge amounts of data when it loaded. Primarily video contents because after watching a video or two, the third one lags horrifically. I do not know if I had altered some setting in the expert settings of the shield (maybe I can reset the settings back to default) or there may be a small problem that I am not aware of.

I recalled there was an option in the expert settings of the Web Shield (web scanning) that if the shield is set to scan all files, my internet browsing my slow down, that was a small clue.

Any help?
Thanks : ]
