it is a wired connection not wireless, and the problem is not a virus as i had bitdefender total security genuine on the pc with slow internet, and it is not the antivirus either as it was slow even before i install the antivirus :p

However unlikely, I've had it happen to me where the actual network adapter (in most cases built into the motherboard) was faulty. Internet worked fine for years and then one day stopped working and became all buggy. I highly doubt this is your case but if it was, you could always try a network adapter that you plug into one of your pci slots. Most likely available for purchase at your local computer store.
