Windows is not the problem more than anything the problem is with your modem. What type do you have if it is 56k and built into the computer then try updating the drivers or reinstalling them. If you have a dsl or cable modem then do the same things. Also if you have a connection from a dsl/cable modem with usb you might want to switch to ethernet i have found that in my experience usb looses its connection a lot.
If the problem is really with IE then read this

Even though you think that this problem is spyware related it probably isn't.
