So my computer was having some weird spyware/virus/whatever problems, i ran what i could from a special diagnostic and repair disc i have which includes like 7-8 spyware scanners and several different virus scanners. Stuff was caught, lots of stuff, even high risk stuff. But what i didnt understand was why my problems didnt go away. Whatever i had, it would choke out my PC's bandwidth. I would sit in ventrilo, and people would often cut in and out due to lag because my connection kept getting sucked up, with ping jumping from 20 to several thousand for like a half second then going back down, intermittently. Even weirder, is when i try to download files, like i tried to download spybot S&D, it ran at 56k download speeds....stopped halfway...then after a few mins told me the download was done. I ran it and then it gave me the error that the files were corrupted so i tried again, and same thing. So whatever it is, it was choking my bandwidth, corrupting my downloads, and making life unpleasent by not going away. I reformatted, and my system starting acting up again....
...gave up and reformatted again....and it was still acting up so i gave up for the night. Here i am and things seem to be running better now, but not exactly sure. My downloads were still not at normal speeds (300+ kb/s), but it was from 40-100kb/s, but the download didnt get corrupted or anything like it was doing last night. So with that said, im about to run spybot S&D and see whats up.
What could be the issue if its just dormant right now? My PC isnt 100% right now, i can feel it...and it sucks. I cant even play games because it makes me lag so bad. Any help would be appreciated.
