Botnets DO make your shit slow
^Kids an idiot, Botnets sap your bandwith, making any type of internet activity slower. Why pay 30 dollars a month for a kid in a basement to rape your service?
Botnets
I don't know that it is, in fact a botnet.
I have had the same issue. So has Mark Gibbs, the Network World columnist!
We have both investigated and found the same thing:
A blow up of deferred procedure calls,(DPCs) all of a sudden, for no explainable reason, and with no clear solution.
I built a whitebox by purchasing a rebuilt box, taking Windows XP the OEM version, and building the system I wanted on that without asking any questions about what was on the hard drive before and booting directly from the CD.
I have observed that the problem is far and away more common on the OEM Version, and in fact I have not had personal experience with it occurring on any other version. You might want to e-mail Mark Gibbs and ask him about his experiences. He answers most of my e-mails.
I rather suspect, but can't prove that it is a glitch in some versions of XP and probably Vista!!!
