My neighbor had exactly the same problem, he had the
sobique also called W32.Sobig.F@mm virus. Go to Nortons
website & download the W32.Sobig.F@mm removal tool & run
it. Here's the link:

Also check for the Welchia worm. I had the same problem a few weeks
ago and this turned out to be the cause.

W32.Welchia.Worm - seems it pings and echos random IP addresses
continiously, causing the bottleneck.

Have a look at:

The removal tool can be found at:
