Basically if I do ANYTHING at all that involves the internet and bandwidth in some way my computer CPU lags up to the point thst sound gets distorted, the mouse moves around only jerkily, any games running go down to like 5 fps and websites will take a long time to load, Task Manager/Process explorer will only say that the program I happen to be using the internet for is whats using all my cpu.

I did a virus scan, nothin' and this is a fresh install of vista fully updated, doesnt matter if its steam, mozilla, IE, its especially noticible when I am streaming video or downloading any kind of file irregardless of size.

Multiplayer games seem to run just fine, and dont cause the crippling lag to my system. It seems to be purely a download/streaming/patching related thing.

That's neither weird nor, probably, inexplicable.

How old is your virus scanning software? What version are you running? Etc. etc.

Also installing/updating certain programs also causes a CPU usage spike causing the aforementioned lag.

Download Process Explorer. Google it. It's by SysInternals, but Microsoft ate them.

rebooted after doing a spyware check, so far things seem fine, but I think rebooting helped that before anyways, I suspect somekind of weird memory leak, will update.
