    Internet Explorer just pauses for like 20 seconds then loads extremely quick.
    It's weird, I tested a download and it went at 124 KB/s, so my cable modem is functioning properly. Has anybody had this problem with IE? I just recently installed Diskeeper and I run it daily, could this have done anything? It's the only thing I can think of that has been installed. I scanned for viruses and found these two, which were deleted by NAV:

    W32.Spex.Worm
    Trojan.ByteVerify

    I also ran Adaware and Spybot, which did turn up some results. Defraged and restarted.

    I also wasn't able to launch Opera, it would just freeze my cpu, so I uninstalled it.

    Any ideas? It seems to be some sort of internet issue? Just wondering if anybody had any similar situations.....

    Thanks.

    You need to disable system restore. Run all those checks again. Make sure your system is clean. Run a registry fixer, I suggest Ace Utilities. Then reenable system restore if you so choose.

    Also try Webroot's Windows Washer and clean the internet cache and history regularly with it.
    You can D/L it from Kazaa
