Recently I've experienced a massive slowdown in certain applications, all of which seem to use the internet--AIM, IE, Firefox.
AIM takes about 9 seconds to send a message, and freezes until it's sent. Firefox and IE freeze at the start of loading a page, and at the end as well.
Also, both IE and Firefox seem to freeze when there's streaming video, either in Flash or WMP.
Any ideas? It just started occurring a few days ago, I'm not exactly sure when though. I ran AVG and Ad-Aware; neither made a difference.
