Hi it's possible that any one of those could be slowing things down. the only items I have in my system tray are jaws, Anti virus and my spyware program. Try switching off MuTorrent as I would assume that runs with a net connection.

Also Esett Smart Security. I also see Windows Live Messenger in the System Tray though I am not signed in and I have set it so it doesn't run in the background. Also I see my printer software "Lexmark Productivity Studio", Should there be a setting somewhere to stop this running from the System Tray?

It often takes me the best part of five minutes to load a page and more often than not it just stops. What puzzles me is that the laptop which is working wirelessly is fine. Does this imply that the problem is with my computer itself or some of its settings as it's connected to the router by cable? Surely it can't be the phoneline as the laptop is having no problems whatsoever?
