Hi everyone this is a little complicated but you guys are my last resort, so here goes anything...
I'm running Windows XP, Cable Internet high speed 5.1 Mbps connection, internet explorer browser.
Now my problem is the following, My internet connection is slow, it lags alot, sometimes over 1 mintue to load yahoo.com. So I did the following; I called my ISP and they ran some tests and made me do some tests and the connection is fine. I ran an anti-virus and spyware check and it "cleaned " everything. (I had 3 trojans and some maleware). I checked all my running programs and cant find anything that shouldn't be running. I have two theories; I have some programs working in the background using my connection (how do I check for those?) or someone is tapping into my internet connection (but im not using a router). Does anyone have any ideas of what I should do? or what is causing this?
greatly appreciated,
Giulio :blackeye:
