Slow Internet Explorer

I've been having a slow internet browsing these last days. Sometimes IE would just freeze up like 10 sec after opening it. P2P programs like Limewire pro and shareaza 2.2.10 have became almost unuseable as it would freeze my IE afterward. I suspect virus/spyware activity going on but Spyware doctor, a-squared, ewido anti malware, counterspy proved useless. I also tried Trend Micro and Panda software's online scan. I tried registry tools and defragmenters too. Any idea what's wrong with my PC and how to fix it?
