(Sudden) major slow down of computer

[PJ Staley]

All of my programs load and run at the normal spped, but receiving email, accessing internet, anything internet related is painfully, and I mean painfully slow. I can send and receive email unless it has an attachment. I ran Spybot and Ad-Aware with no results. I run XP SP2, 1G RAM. Please advise. Thank you.

Have you contacted your ISP for possible down time?

 

[PJ Staley]

I've been on the phone with them, with my VoIP provider and anybody else who will listen for the last 2 days. My system has had every possible "ping" you can imagine.

Go here and download Hijack This:

Have it scan your system and create a log then post
your log here in this thread. Don't fix anything
yourself, folks here can look it over for you, okay?

I disconnected the Linksys Router (not wireless) and reconnected directly to the Linksys Modem (also not wireless) and my system started running normally. This is the 2nd Linksys router that has been bad in some form or fashion. Here's the HJT Log...
