My internet suddenly decided to run really slow and "jumpy", some sites will work, some won't. I contacted my isp and they think i might have a bug. I tried downloading an anti virus but my downloads keep freezing. I posted this in the spyware/malware forum too but I got no answers. I'm really hoping someone here can help me out! Oh yeah, I'm on a cable modem using windows xp.
