possible virus?

[fong]

as of today i have been having some serious internet problems. im not 100% sure if its my internet or a virus. i have been on some decent size timeouts, every 10 or so seconds i have a massive spike that lasts about 5 or so seconds, and ill finally be able to fully load the internet, or load anything for that matter. weird thing is i have good virus protection and spyware protection, and have scanned both and have found nothing. i use kaspersky and spyware doctor. it first started with just lag spikes while playing tfc, for like .5 seconds. i would lag out and wouldn't be able to see my explosions or sometimes my flares and rockets. any ideas?

I wouldn't worry until it lasts more then 24 hours. Could just be your ISP making changes.

do you have another computer you can try on your network? bring up task manager and see if a program is stealing 100%. what os?

when i load a new page on explorer, it goes from 5% cpu usage, to around 50ish. but no program is taking up much. im using windows xp home edition.

im running..

emachine c2480
amd athlon(tm)xp 2400+
1.99GHz, 512mb of ram

with a radeon 9600xt video card if that matters.
