Run a speed test on you internet connection and see if it is that. If it is the connection try unplugging the power to your DSL modem for a few seconds and then plug it back in. This will reset the connection and sometimes helps.



Good speed test can be found at http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest

No Virus? Defragged Disk? DSL? hmm.. why lagging :)



Do you hear lots of (disk)noise from your computer?



If you do, your computer is spending most of time swapping memory to disk. This is typical when you don't have much memory but thinking that all the anti-virus and adware can help. Any program that loads with windows eats up memory even anti-virus software.



Go to Windows Task Manager %26gt; performance tab %26gt; see the PF Usage and Physical Memory Total. If PF Usage is two times bigger than Physical Memory Total.. hmmm you many have some issues.
