Steve74,
Are you using Kaspersky for your Antivirus? It has a habit of interfering with speedtest results.

Steve74,
If you're happy to do so, the best thing would be to temporarily disable your Antivirus, run the speedtest, then re-enable the Antivirus. Obviously and understandably you may not be happy doing that, but I don't see how else you can rule it out
Edit: a quick Google search turned this up - looks like Avira is definitely your problem: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=1053464
