Hey guys, really need some help here.

Ok so, I have 4 PC's in the house, 3 of them have perfect internet connection.
How ever the 4th PC for some reason has EXTREMLY slow connection, it can only load up the very basic webpages like MSN home page, it cannot load BBC Iplayer or it can only load it breifly.
Now this started happening 3 days ago, it was completly fine before and now I have no idea what so ever on whats happened and why it has all of a suddern gone completly slow.

Need some help please =(

Spyware or virus sounds very likely. Run something like Spybot S&D or Lavasoft Adaware

MalwareBytes or Super Anti Spyware are probably better nowadays imho. S&D and AdAware are pretty old and not quite so good any more apparently. Certainly MamBam or SAS are the biz, and both free also. Give them a try.

Based on what? S&D is an awesome free solution and I definitely don't see why it's necessary to spend money on a paid solution. There's also Secunia PSI & Spywareblaster for general protection.

The 2 programs he said are brilliant and free. Where did you get the tripe about spending money?

Maybe it's nothing to do with the networking.

Is the hard drive full?

Need more information. Is it wired or wireless? If it's wireless, what's the wireless adapter, what's the router and what's the signal strength? If wired, which network adapter and which router?

What is the spec of the PC?
