Slow internet - DellG5 5500

I just bought my Dell G5 5500, and straight out of the box the internet on it has been really slow. Other equipments around the house are working normally so the issue it is not my wifi.

To give you an example, I am currently downloading a game at 112 KB/s . And youtube it is not working properly either.

Any help?

    Thank you for your answer man. It wasn't related to McAfee, but it turned out to be just a driver that I had to manually download/install.

    Here is the link that helped me, in case anyone else needs it:

    Is the system running updates to Windows?   Out of box it likely is -- which will slow other connections.

    Does the system have McAfee?  Get rid of it - it's a resource hog.

    The Dell G5 5000 ethernet controller is a flaming POS.  It doesn't even connect as fast as wireless.  I've had to uninstall and reinstall the Killer E2600 driver a half dozen times and the internet speed on this computer is 1/3 the speed of any other computer I have.  My Gigabyte laptop connects wirelessly at twice the speed that this box does.
