YES.Its happened to me also.Its a known "issue" which nothing will be done about because it has been purposely put into sp2.I have the answer.A nice little programme that changes an isp file.Speeds net up amazingly.Let me know if you want it.(It also speeds up downloading.)

My understanding is that spy and adware slow a PC down considerably. You can try Spybot S&D
Make sure to up-date it before using it. 1-Check for problems 2-Fix Problems 3- Immunize
if you haven't done so already
If you need a simple solution, try mine. I try to give advise on things that have happened to my PC. Changes in registry can be FATAL! Glad to have a chance to help you.
