I have a laptop connected to a wireless router ( Netgear ). The Internet connection ( 4MB
ADSL ) is somewhat choppy, i.e. it works flawlessly for one hour and then it suddenly
heavily slows down, only to come back after a minute or two. I tried pinging the router
and sometimes I get 3 or 4 "request timed out" messages, before the average time goes back
to a few milliseconds.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this malfunction ? Bad signal ? Malware ? I
regularly run Spybot and it finds some "red" trojans ( listed as "Firefox default"
though ).
Please help. Thanks.

May be it is just the radio interference. Does your WiFi manager report 
the signal-to-noise ratio? What the reading is when the link works 
normally - and what is shown during the slow-down period?
