This sounds like a case of spyware infestation,a scurge on the home computing world
But dont worry,there are plenty of fre and paid for programs avalible to fix this problem
first you need to download a program called spybot(http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html),install it and follow the instructions after install,remember to update the program and most important,imunize it to protect your p.c from any future attacks
you should run a scan straight away and fix any problems found,some may require a restart
you should also download a trial program called sunbelt counterspy(http://www.sunbelt-software.com/CounterSpy.cfm),this is only a 15 day trial but you will have enough time to fix any problems you have,again make sure you update the program before you scan
finally you should download the windows based program"defender"(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en),this is a excellent peice of software that works in the background and will run scans while you are working ,you can also run a quick or full scan at any time
all of these should fix your problem,the main thing is to keep them updated after(except for counterspy(15 day trial)),but spybot and defender should protect you adequately
good luck

could be a problem with your ISP *or* it could indicate the presence of a virus, spyware or malware.
If you can stay connected to the Internet for several minutes, try going to download.com and get Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, and AVG antivirus programs. Install them, run the updates, and let them scan your machine. All are free to download and keep. Be sure you download the file that has red or purple stars by its name - not the "paid result links" that will appear above the file you want to download.
Good luck~

I would start with making sure it is clean.
A clean computer is key to a faster computer. Run the 3 scans below.
Update and run your Anti-Virus program. Don't have one? You can run a free online scan from CA.
http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan.aspx
Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/ . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.
Download, update and run Adaware---http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/products/select_your_product.php
Now lets clean up your registry.
Download RegScrubXP--http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?d...
Safely cleans junk out of the Windows 2000/XP system registry. All changes made to the registry are fully restorable to it's original condition. You can make an exclusion list of registry entries that RegScrubXP will not display as problems. You can sift through a list of file extensions, company names, run upon startup programs, Internet Explorer history, and uninstall programs to delete what you think is junk.
Download CleanUp---http://www.stevengould.org/software/clea...
Free disk space, make your computer run better/faster and protect your privacy - all in one easy solution. All for free!
Now lets clean up your disk.
Do a Disk Cleanup and Disk Defrag. You can find both of them by following the path below.
Start>all programs>accessories>system tools>Disk Cleanup. Let it do its thing. You can check every box that has something to delete.
Now follow the same path and do a Disk Defrag. Again just let it do its thing.
Now lets tweak your connection.
There are many programs out there to do this. I will give you 2 of them.The first one is TCP Optimizer.
Description: The TCP Optimizer is a free, easy Windows program that provides an intuitive interface for tuning and optimizing your Internet connection. There is no installation required, just download and run.

The second one is Cablenut.

All programs are FREE!
After applying the suggestions above you will have a clean and faster computer. Enjoy.

You may be lacking memory space. Defrag and clean up at start, accessories, system tools. Also go to tools at the top, internet options and delete cookies, files and history. Check for unused programmes and delete them. Try and keep only one window open when on line.
