about a week ago, I read an advertisement for a program called PC Booster, so i got a trial of it, it did a "auto tune up" and i was prompted to restart. I did, and everything was so slow, I undid all changes and uninstalled. Afterwards, I couldn't download and zip, exe or flash files.

obviously this program altered some of your settings for tcp/ip. not sure if uninstalling and reinstalling tcp/ip will work from network connection properties. you can try it, and if it doesn't work, do a system restore which will hopefully restore your registry.
goto start and run and paste this in:
%SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe
restore to a point before you installed pc booster.

      When you said "I undid all changes and uninstalled." did you also clean your registry?

      I cannot promise you that this will solve your problem, but it will remove obsolete files.

        Supportwiz.....I didnt get much sleep last night extremely hot and humid here ..........anyway what I thought was......and neglected to include was to use another pc to download and then install from a cd ....
        Sure would like to know what it was that the uninstall took out .....unless it was some shared files ........but xp should have given a warning.........

        It says I'm using a "Lucent Win Modem" i had anywhere from 49 to 53.2 kbps connection speed. No spyware using the older version (i already had adaware) but it's stopping my antivirus and adaware from updating
