I have an DELL laptop (Windows XP). I have a DSL internet connection. i have SPYBOT installed in the machine since one year. Since Last 2 Days I found my internet was slow , I found internet traffic even when my IE was idle. I suspected some malware and ran spybot and cleaned. But still I find that the internet is slow and packets still are being sent/recd when idle. When i start internet there is no much traffic and at that time it works at normal speed , but within a few minutes I find the continuous traffic activity and thats the time when it becomes slow.
