Possible Virus/hacker causing computer/network slowdowns - please help
Hi all, over the last week or so I've noticed my internet connection speed drop to below 2.2Mbps Down and .9Mbps Up where I'm supposed to be 50Mbps Down and 3Mbps Up via cable. I've monitored the network traffic when running the speed tests and there doesn't seem to be anything else running affecting it. I'm cabled into my network via Linksys Router and the Shaw Modem and I've connected a laptop to the same set up and I get 44.62Mbps/2.94Mbps. I've run Spybot and Avast checks everyday with no luck. I'm really stuck as to why my connection speed is so slow, the only thing I can think of is a hacker/trojan. Twice over the last week I had explorer.exe crashes that at one point were so frequent I had to reboot. Thankfully this does not occur all the time. I've run the tests using IE9, Firefox and Chrome. I've plugged directly into the Modem and I get the same results. I'm not really sure where to turn next so any help will be most appreciated. Thanks.
