Hello?
Disable wmpnetwork (and any other wmp task)in startup. Uninstall and reinstall Firefox and with IE, since it is a part of the os, perhaps update it.
Also, with both browsers, disable all plugins/addons. IE: Tools->manage add-ons Firefox: tools->add-ins->plugins (or use firefox safemode - which is in the start menu)
Also, I would use the following programs to cleanup/defragment the computer: ccleaner & auslogics disk defrag
I might be having the same problem as you. Except I only notice it on web browsers, not while playing video games, and speedtest.net says i have a down speed of around 10mbps
Under msconfig, there is no wmpn task in startup shown. I ended process tree of wmpnetwk in the task manager, but it shows back up again.
Uninstalled and reinstalled firefox (I didn't remove my firefox personal data and customization - I hope that doesn't matter)
I assume IE is up to date if it gets updated weekly with the automatic windows updates - let me know if there is a manual update I need to do.
Disabled ALL plug-ins/add-ons
Ran the ccleaner cleaner. Downloaded and ran auslogics disk defrag (2.38% fragmentation down to 0%)
If you are still having that problem, then disable your AV program. As far as catching the common existing viruses Avira is excellent, however, Avira has been know to slow a computer down.
A non-interfering, excellent, free AV is Microsoft Security Essentials.
