nope, used avg and nortons and no diff, used ad-aware and no difference. i'm connected via router, but i connected to that and it is connected to the modem with ethernet cable. it didn't used to do this either, when i got the router (november-ish) it could ping fine. and its not the speed thats an issue, its above what i'm supposed to get, just wondering why my latencies are, well, non-existant. and if u need any more info, just post and i'll get back very quickly, any help appreciated
ps, thnx for the welcome
