What has my computer slowed down after I downloaded an online game?

My friend suggested I download an online game called Dream Of Mirror Online and I took up her offer last night. I started the installation and it told me it would take about 5 hours to download. During that time I decided to surf the internet until the installation would be complete. While I was surfing, I noticed my internet was oddly slow, taking double the time it takes to load something. Also as of yesterday, the series I watch online on this video player takes forever to load whereas before last night, I barely had to even wait. I cancelled the installement right after I noticed this but my computer is still as slow. Has this been cause by the online game I was downloading and how can I speed my computer internet connection as before?

    Either you downloaded a virus, or the installation didn't quit properly. Try using system restore (if you use Windows, which you should) to before you had the problem. If that doesn't fix it, then it's time to call tech support, or get a new computer (if your computer was bought before 2006).
