Very slow internet browsing on vista laptop

Hi

I have a new HP laptop with Intel 3945g wifi, and for the first week it seemed to be ok. However, not it seems as if browsing speed has been reduced to a crawl. Downloads go at a normal speed, however browsing is another story. Google search never seems to work, along with a handful of other sites, whilst the rest (like anandtech) will load up slowly, but still work.

This is not an issue on any other coputer present on the same network, so its not an ISP issue, and it wasn't present during the first week the laptop was here. Also, i tried disabling the windows firewall, to no use.

The only thing that changed was that I had a virus, but NOD32 detected it and should have cleaned it right away.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
OK WTF

Browsing seems to run fine when i created a guest account on the laoptop and tried it from there.

So its something in the main account thats screwing around. But what?
