      Try the usual stuff:

      run anti-spyware software
      clear your internet cache and cookies etc
      update your PC using Windows update
      Ensure anything you've installed recently isn't connecting to the Internet for unnecessary reasons

              Your results: 13Mb/s down, and 3Mb/s up are excellent.
              What browser, version do you use?
              You didn't download anything form Speedtest.

              As for your other issue...

              Download HijackThis:
              http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/hijackthis/download
              by clicking on Download HijackThis Installer
              Install, and run it.
              Post HijackTHis log.
              Do NOT attempt to fix anything!

              NOTE. If you're using Vista, right click on HijackThis, and click Run as Administrator

                    i mean its fasts sometimes. but it will do stuff like freeze or when i hit close nothing happens and i have to go to the taskbar or the internet will restart itself or the worst is when new windows infinitely keep popping up and i have to restart the computer

                      One thing, I missed...

                      Unless you installed Viewpoint Manager knowledgeably...
                      Go Start>Control Panel>Add\Remove (Programs and Features in Vista), and...
                      Uninstall any of the following programs associated with Viewpoint:
                          * Viewpoint Manager
                          * Viewpoint Media Player
                          * Viewpoint Toolbar
                      This program does not do anything bad such as deliver ads or spy on you, but it is considered foistware ("drive-by-install") as it is installed without your consent through programs like AOl, AIM, Compuserve, etc.

                      In IE, click Help>About Internet Explorer. It'll tell you the version.
