Ok so this may be wrong thread to put this in but here goes anyway, A few days ago my interent connection became real slow i mean like 5m to load the google.com main page, did virus/malware/spyware check all came back clean, tried sys restore but it didnt work(as usaul) tried updating drivers and all still no go, the odd thing is that i play wow and ffxi which to my surprise runs just fine no lag or anything, what am i missing? ?? i cant think of another thing to do, i havent d/l or installed anything in the last few months so i dont think its a software problem but whatever you guys can think of i would appreciate it ty in adavance!

Is that the only page that loads slow?

Run your virus checks in safe mode (if you didn't).

You also may want to try the system restore in safe mode (if you didn't).

No they all run slow, did all the virus/malware/adawre checks in safe mode still comes back clean, safe mode didnt let me restore either.

Did the restore error out, or there weren't any dates to restore to?

Hover over your connection icon in the taskbar (next to the clock), it'll show what your connection speed is.
