[Webpages\Storage] Slow internet page load time

I just had my comcast internet/tv service hooked up, and my downoad speeds are great, but when I open Firefox or IE to load a webpage it takes almost 10 seconds for yahoo to load. Is there a setting or tweak I need to do to fix this. I used to run Verizon Fios via wireless, now I am hooked up via wireless with comcast. I was also running a dial-up tethering connection from my blackberry in the interim between verizon and comcast. Could that be affecting anything? I am also running vista.

Clean up your computer. That actually most likely has nothing to do with comcast (and is the source of many un-necessary trouble calls).

Run a spyware cleaner (Spybot Search and Destroy works well), virus scan (Whatever you have), malware scanner(Adaware SE is nice), etc. Remove any unnecessary addons from firefox, and just get things back in working order.

Also, if the tech installed the comcast toolbar when the internet was installed, get rid of it.
