Hey Elsenoor,
Cool name ! Rings a bell, but I can't quite place it.
So then, whats this eicon networks service?
Do you have an eicon networks adsl modem external modem, connected to your
pc through a usb port ?
If so do you know what model it is ?
Is it a Diva ?
The latest drivers are available here. Quite an impressive level of detail.

If this is not your modem, what are you using (make and model)
Perhaps this is an old bit of software hanging around from a previously used
modem.
In general, performance can problems can be caused by various factors.
When you pc is slow, check in task manager and see whats happening.
ctrl-alt-del
Click the process tab.
In the bottom bar of the window, how many Processes do you see, What is the
cpu usage and the 2 numbers for commit charge.
If cpu usage is high, which processes are using it, look in the cpu column,
click on the CPU heading, and it will sort the processes into cpu usage
order.
Post the names of any processes using more than a few percent.
Find out your hardware info.
control panel/system/general tab
Post what it says under the heading Computer, for the processor type and
speed , and the amount of memory.
Viruses in all their different flavours can be a huge drain on cpu and
memory. Do you have anti virus software installed and use it regularly?
If not, AVG anti virus is free
www.grisoft.com
Zone alarm is a free firewall
www.zonelabs.com
I use both these and haven't had a problem for several years.
Adware and spyware, which isn't picked up by antivirus software can also
seriously damage your performance. This stuff can be responsible for sending
your personal information to sites on the web, and redirecting you to sites
you didn't choose to go to.
These 2 utilities are also free,
Adaware

Disk drives with less than 20% free space can also affect performance, so
try and regularly cleanup your system.
Defragmenting you disk regularly can also help performance.
