No, you do not have a virus.
Your speed issue may be related to a recent discovery of an issue
with some cable modems and Macs - it has to do with DOCSIS setups on
the modems.
When connected directly, a Windows machine works at full speed, when
connecting a Mac, it is about 1/3 the speed of the windows machine.
Motorola was the first to acknowledge this bug and their suggestion,
until they fix the firmware issue, is to use an older modem.
We have first hand experience with this one.
However, you may also have something interfering with your Airport
signal. Try changing the channel on your Airport Base Station... The
default is 11 and it needs to be changed by 3. So try 14 and see if
that is better, if not, 8 etc etc.
Hope that helps.

Try setting the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit, size of ethernet

Nota: I actually use AirPort, so... but I do not found those
settings (Speed, Duplex, MTU).
If it was possible, I would say that I have a virus... on Mac OS X
