i just got updated...thanks to all tho,the reason this happened is that there was an earthquake in taiwan which cause severe damage to the undergorund comm cables...malaysian streamyx(ISP) uses these as a link or peer...so the major slowdown was caused by a meer earthquake...

The thing is, I downloaded a security update from Windows pior to my
| computer recieving malware. But I figured Mircosoft is a safe website to
| download from, so it couldn't have been conceived from the update.
| Maybe that's not what you meant, but could that be a possibilty? And does
| this give me new clues to fix this?

No. Coincidence. You could have had the malware prior to the update and it went
un-noticed.
Please use the utilities I suggested and post the log files I requested.
