I would first install, update and run Ad-Aware (Lavasoft.com). Sounds like a bit of spyware...

Possibly around the time I loaded latest MSN Messenger (v7.5) or a windows update. Laptop Sony Vaio FR720 (Athlon processor), Windows XP Pro. Problem - after coming out of suspend the Internet connection dies or goes very slowly (I mean a broadband connection going slower than dial-up - eg 10/20/30 delay before loading a website or timing out altogether). Other connections, such as Skype or email make work normally or may be affected as well - ie it is mainly TCP/IP I think. Have up-to-date virus protection and Zone-Alarm. Also - related? Windows security system has stopped warning me about antivirus updates being available. Also - related? Zone alarm stopped running automatically with the restart of the PC, I instead added it to the Startup folder, means it starts a bit later than it used to. TCP/IP problems usually get worse over time, a full reboot always fixes it.
