wow your in a world of hurt ok let me take a crack at this bugger .. hmm

ok you should not have a dsl modem hooked to your computer from your modem to the wall or modem to you computer and all the phones and the fax machine if you have one all need to have a dsl filter on them if you have a satilite receiver plugged into the phone line that could be slowing it up to. But if your head of the house only use the least amount of phones to get by if on the net and if not useing the tv unplug the phonelive freom the receiver if it is connected for pay-per-view channels and reconnect after your done. that may help if none of that works check your up/down load speed and if it saids you should be running what it displays then if it is that is your speed the isp is giving you if your getting a different number then what they tell you you might call the phone company to come out and check the phone wire from the pole to the house and then it is your job to check it from the basement to you computer . well umm that is about all I can tell you I wish I knew more to tell you I wish you luck.

its better you have to re-install your operating system, for sure you got a virus....be sure you have an operating system cd, if you don't have ask for a technician
