Slow Internet Connection

Hey everyone, after searching many sites I have come here in hopes of obtaining an answer. My primary virus protection program was Yahoo which came with my internet. Apparently they combined with Norton so I was forced to download the new software to continue having protection. At about this time a week and a half ago, my internet began slowing down dramatically. I first thought it was spyware, but after searching with Spybot Search and Destroy, Trend Micro, Spyware Terminator, and several other programs, no spyware or virus's have been found. I have uninstalled both the yahoo virus and spyware protection, as well as all yahoo applications and browsers. I primarily use internet explorer, and after I restart my computer my internet seems to work fine. But after I visit about 4 or 5 different sites, the speed and time it takes to load the page continue to slow down. When this happens, it can often get to the point where internet explorer stops responding and i have to ctrl alt delete out of it. I have a Hijack This report at the bottom if it will help find the problem. Please help me guys, I'm in college and have a research paper due in a couple weeks that I really need the internet for. thanks for any help I recieve :)
