Hi,

I was on Direct Connect downloading some files over the night through my ADSL-connection. In the morning I noticed that my browser was lagging. It's very unresponsive and slow. For example, when I use the scrollbar to scroll up or down on a website, the site moves in a stuttering way, not smooth like it used to. My former startpage [url]www.expressen.se[/url] causes my browser (IE6) to freeze and that's the only site I've found to do so (strange). Also, when typing this message there's a lag between my keystroke and when the characther appears on the screen. Not big but noticable. When positioning the mousepointer over a link, there's a lag until the arrow changes to a hand etc.
I tried various free virusscanners but they haven't found anything. Then I installed ZoneAlarm and every minute or so it reports that various IP-adresses is trying to ping me, mostly adresses within my ISP-s domain. Has someone managed to place - I don't know the term for it - some software on my computer that uploads my file's somewhere?
If you think so, how do I get rid of it? I use w*8 BTW, so it can't be the BlasterWorm. I've tried scandisc and defragging to see if that would speed things up, to no avail.

Best regards,

Simon, Sweden
