How does anti virus software cause internet connectivity issues?

Hi,

Normally there shouldn't be any issue. Actually after installation of any antivirus all internet activity passes through the antivirus which might affect your speed. I don't know which antivirus you are using so please go into the settings and just look upon what sort of services your antivirus is performing. There could be an option of lower safe settings which will increase your internet speed. Please try to check your internet speed by downloading some 100 Mb file through download manager. It will give you an idea about your speed. Internet connectivity often decreases during antivirus updates.

I hope this will help.

Regards,
