I'll need your mailing address.
And it won't be anthrax, I fucking promise.

What happened before problem arose:
- Previous night downloaded a World of Warcraft torrent on my laptop with good comments, and many claims that it was virus free and clean: Catch was it was difficult to set up.
- I set up the original WoW on my laptop to see if it'd work, and the setup was fine. No problems arose.
- The next day (TODAY) I put my WoW folder on my public folder so I could grab it from the network with my Desktop computer. This took around an hour long since for some reason XP Network Places was not showing any connections for the longest time. Anyways, I finally somehow got it to show and I took the folder and moved it to my Desktop computer's desktop. This took around 15 minutes.
*************************************************
- I downloaded WoW & Burning Crusade, only to later uninstall it as my friend gave me a 10 day free trial.
- I tried playing Melty Blood (an arcade fighter) with my friend on my laptop which usually goes fast at like 300ms ping max. This time it started with around 700ms and ended the game with around 2000ms, to the point the game was unplayable. At first I just thought my laptop was being a faggot and shrugged it off.
- I notice my download from Blizzard website is fluctuating like crazy on my desktop computer. It will say "8 hours remain" then 2 minutes later it will say "16 hours remain".
- I read how to speed up my dl speed with the Blizzard Downloader by tinkering with my firewall. I read the Blizzard website and it works fine, I add a connection and follow the rules. Internet connection was good and the Blizzard website loaded as fast as usual.
- The speed of the Blizzard updater still said that there was a firewall restriction, but was still downloading (at a slow pace). I didn't give a shit because it'd still get done before school tomorrow.
- I open firefox and notice its slower than a snail, where pages are taking around 40 seconds - 1:30 minutes to load. I'm fucking pissed.
Here is some ping tests I ran just in case this means anything:

* Problem started within, before, or after the stars.
Since I'm experiencing the problem with both my computers that dealt with the WoW folder it would lead me to believe the folder was malicious but it makes no sense to me that my laptop had no ill effects until a bit after I made the transfer over my network. I am no way experienced with networking or routers. This is gay. FUCK.
(I am running Norton on desktop and about to run adaware on this computer [laptop])
As of now I'm still experiencing this problem.
