Hello,
Since a few days, my internet has been having lagspikes every now and then. These lagspikes can be noticed in WoW, Ventrilo and often in Safari/Firefox when loading pages. The latency of WoW and Ventrilo keep jumping from between 30 to 1000 or even more at times.
I've tried resetting my router, tried rebooting obviously, had a call with my ISP and they said there shouldn't be any network issues in my area. So that leaves me with one last possibility: a virus/worm/adware/any other kind of annoying ware that can mess up your computer.
Now, I'm not new to the whole computer/internet thing, and I've always been very careful on what sites I visit and what links I click and i'm 99.9% sure I've never visited any site that could cause possible threat.
But still, is there some scanner (pref freeware) to check for any sinister software on a Mac?
I'm using OS X 10.5.2 on a 2.8ghz 24" iMac.
