I download alot, defragment every Wednesday (My Vista does this by default), have downloaded a registry cleaner, but since Tuesday I have noticed that my computer’s performance has greatly decreased. I used to download at speeds of 250KB/s but that 250KB/S has shrunk to only 9 – 12KB/S. Here’s my current details:

Since you do not mention what might be specific symptoms of an infection (virus or spyware), I think that either your computer has a process hog running that you don’t know about or that something is slowing down your internet connection.
To check processes: ctrl-alt-del, Task Manager, Processes. (If nothing else running, System Idle Process should be 90%-plus). If an application is hogging resources, it should show up here and you can stop or alter it as you wish or need to (if of no use to you, stop and uninstall it).
For potential internet throughput problems: First, try turning off your modem (and rouiter, if you have on) for maybe 10 seconds or so and restart. A clogged cache can slow you down and this might clear it. Second, run a bandwidth speed test (google speedtest and choose one; Cnet’s works pretty good). If the results are not close to what you pay for, contact your Internet Service Provider’s technical support. They probably will have you run more speedtests, with whatever tool they choose–but the problem may be theirs.
