First> Actually a good idea to tell us what your computer specs are and the type of connection you have.

If you have a PC, check your system tray area and make sure you only have essentials running in the backround, ie- no MSN messenger or no non-anti virus application that checks online for updates. I try to remember to keep Windows Updates set to 'notify only' while I play.

You should have onboard your computer these 3 things running while you surf online for fairly good defences against spyware/adware/malware.
1] Spybot. 2] Adaware. 3] Spywareblaster. Google them up. they all have free versions

My PC is kinda outdated [2.2ghz/256ram/ati9200card] but I manage a good ping 50-60 -generally, but lately I'm getting lots of lag anyway which leads me to believe some application is running in the background or its my annoying Norton's updating. You can improve things with lots of ram/better vid card of course but some folks like me crank down our game settings in favour of playability like; 800x600 screen/ sound settings very low/ most effects are set to off like bullet casings/blood/shadows... number of dead bodies low.

I did one thing lately that seems to have obliterated my general lag issues of late> I followed Cross's advice in his post in this thread;-

.try a system restore back to a date where you know your COD functioned correctly.

This won't get rid off recently acquired spyware/adware though unfortunately.
