What can cause spell and chat lag?

hmm.. what processes do you run along with EQ? A scheduled scan going at X o'clock daily? Bring up task manager and start dumping out of stuff u dont need like a finger print server process, open browsers, adobe stuffs, or whatever u have running in back ground. I mean, unless you're hitting some real shady websites u dont even need anti virus on either.
