They showed 0 Gh on Slush for past 5 + hours, then I re-entered my pool settings and applied and they started hashing for me again. My Norton sees the M's Ant Miner as a virus.
But after all that, my speeds are OK average as usual, but last few blocks since they have been running again, my earnings per block have dropped substantially from about 0.002 to about 0.0015 that's a 25% drop off in earnings per block.
Bear in mind that if you stop mining for a period on slush, you are punished due to the unique payment scheme in place there.

Is that really true?  The hashrate reflects an hourly average updated every 10 minutes.  So if you put a 44GH/s miner on toward the end of an hour, the average will be very low.  I don't really see what I'd call an accurate hashrate there until a move to the next block.
