Default connect to google painfully slow

Is there some anti virus I can down load that may help speed up my slow connection speed to google?
Thanks FS

I'd try the AVG Free Edition...but a slow connection can be caused by a whole big list of software and hardware issues.......never hurts to run an anti virus at all times tho!!!

Panda Cloud Antivirus

The first free antivirus from the cloud

uses almost no system resources but you have to have internet connection for it to work

Hold up ... ... ... What?? Anti-virus doesn't have anything to do with speeding up your connection. Kind of like asking if there's "any fog lights I can install on my car to make it go faster?" Contrary to what I used to tell people in training at my last job, turning on the fog lights does not give you a 5 horsepower boost.

Anti-virus protects your computer from viruses. If only the Google website is slow, then there's likely a problem on their server. If it was a problem on your end, then every website would be slow, not just Google.

Clear as mud?

Hope my post didn't sound condescending. I was chuckling while I typed it, but some people say I come across the wrong way sometimes.

Are you using the google tool bar? It use to be just a simple search bar. Now they keep adding crap to it, auto search, gps search, adds, and a whole raft of other useless junk if all you want to do is search. Go into settings and turn off all that crap. seemed to speed mine up.
