Ever since my PC was "HIjacked" whilst surfing the web, I
am convinced my connection is much slower (56K dial-up). I
clened my PC using software somebody (on this site)
recommended, my PC is working fine but I still think it is
slower. Is there a way of checking my connection speed or
am I just being paranoid?
