May be waaaayy of the mark here but have you run all the spyware checks etc.

Recently did some work on a friends pc which took a whopping 45seconds to download 1mb in a speed test. Browsing was painfully slow I found over 60spyware with adware dialers etc and also running tasks in background was high. To sort out spyware google for

adware se 1.05

spybot 1.3

and to check what is booting on startup click start/run/ then type msconfig

May be off mark but worth mentioining and yes once I cleaned the system browsing went to normal speeds.
