Sloooow Internet

Hi,

Hoping someone can help?

For some reason my pc slows down at different times of the day, it seems to be after certain sites my dp visits, although not always. They are not typical bad sites, just quiz things online gambling and wikipedia etc. and i never pick up viruses from my scanner.
If i run the adaware programme i get a few things that i can delete but it doesnt alter the speed that much, although after i shut it down and restart it does seem to be a bit faster.
I have sometimes seen a doubleclick (or something like that) box open as i shut down so it looks like something i dont want is running in the background?

Ive run the hijackthis and the combofix that i seen mentioned in an earlier post that i can post if anyone has an idea?

Thanks

Nads.
