Getting slow performance in CS all of a sudden

[halflifeguy]

Can anyone help me out?
im getting slow performance all of a sudden
not extremely slow and not all the time but this never happened before
validating files and removing adware and spyware to see if that helps

I have dialup, so my ping is usu around 200-300, but my fps is usually good (stays above 60fps with almost highest settings). Sometimes it drops, though. I think it may be the server, especially if you have dialup, because some are kinda crappy. They cause me to get <60 fps, though it usually happens in dust maps which are especially demanding. I just turn my settings down, or go to a different server or something.

If I may jump in, I have the high-speed and still get 200-300 type ping.
How this?

I get 40FPS to about 70FPS... settings medium (shadows low) 1024x768... never have issues with slowing down or anything like that. My video card is a radeon 9600pro (499/324) which isn't great but still it's working.

Are you using ZoneAlarm? If so, that is the case. Disable it and see if this helps.
