I managed to compose this message, but all of the sudden I'm seeing 2-8kb/s download speeds as opposed to me normal 100-300kb's speeds. Losing connection to Online games such as WoW. Ran Malware Bytes and no dice, SUPERAntispyware found my cookies and a bit of adware but did not help. Any suggestions?

When speeds are all of a sudden getting slower, it's time to refresh the hardware. First shut down the pc then unplug your router (if you have one) then your modem.

Leave your modem unplugged for 10-15 sec., then when you plug it back in wait untill the online light is solid before re-plugging in the router (again if you have one). Finally turn on your pc after the router has been plugged in for 1 min.

If all else fails just connect to the modem direct, (ie: no router involvedto the pc and power cycle the modem.
