Network Connection Slow Down

I've got your basic 10/100 network setup, with 2 hubs, one in each building.
Internet is always on with a 512k adsl permanant line. There is no much
activity on the network on average. Recently my desktop pc, which is a basic
celeron 2.0ghz, has had a slow connection when it comes to accessing the
network in the 1st click, say for example if I click on network neighborhood,
it takes more than 30 seconds to open up. it used to connect directly before.
I am certain that i haven't made changes to this pc network settings or
installed any software that might have. I suspect that spyware may be an
issue but i have spybot, ad-aware, windows spyware updates installed -
basically everything that i heard was effective and installed and updated
them but none has worked out in fixing the problem. I'm outta ideas! Any
suggestions guys/gals?

If you suspect malware, AdAware and Spybot are good things to start with, but
they aren't 100% effective. Neither is Microsoft AntiSpyware or Windows Spyware
Updates (which may or may not be the same). The ultimate tool is HijackThis,
and expert advice.

Slow display refreshes in Network Neighborhood are frequently caused by
excessive protocols. Are you sure you haven't made any changes recently?
