    Hello All,
    I'll apologise right now if I have this in the wrong forum and if so could someone point me in the right direction.

    I've found that our internet is running very slow, meaning when I call up a web page (ie msn.com) it takes forever to load. It used to be superfast.
    Everything else on my computer seems to work fine. (ie opening documents or programs)

    Chaslang had helped me awhile back to deal with a malware issue and also directed me to "How to protect yourself from Malware", so I know my system is clean.

    Could the issue possible be with Zone Alarm which I have on my computer?

    Any suggestions or direction would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Assuming you've got a cable modem? Reset your modem by unplugging it completely (power and from puter to modem). Let it sit for a minute or two, then reconnect and turn on your modem. This resets it, and will usually clear up such symptoms if they hadn't been there previously.

    If you have dial-up internet, try moving your modem card to a different slot. It's possible it's trying to use an IRQ that's conflicting with something else in your computer. Not possitive a conflict would effect connection in that way, so I'm betting you are on a cable server.

    It may be spyware, or a virus. Do a few scans, with multiple programs, and send it all to hell.

    I have a D-Link DSL-3000 Modem.

    I tried disconnecting the power and cable to my computer for a few minutes, however this did not seem to help.

    Any other suggestions "Geeks"?

    Cheers,
