Are there any trojan or other spyware devices that might be making my
internet searches become slow? I've noticed that if I do a few searches
(using virtually any search engine), they become progressively slower, very
quickly. This has only happened to me over the past 6 months or so. I've
also found that searching eBay has become impossibly slow too.

On the other hand, I think all this started when I switched ISP's a few
months ago. Perhaps they have inadequate bandwidth for the amount of users
thay have...

I've run three spyware/trojan scanners and eradicated what they found, but
the problem persists unchanged.

TIA
