So, as I have noticed, every time I connect to the internet (via Ethernet) my whole computer slows down and all games become unplayable at around 10 FPS, also, YouTube videos become a bit laggy. Opening and closing things still work just as fast, but it is the transitions of opening and closing applications or other windows that are slow and choppy. However, once I disable my Network Adapter (Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller) my whole computer works at its normal speed, transitions of opening and closing windows are smoothly and games run as they should. I have tried updating the driver for the adapter, but it made no difference. I turned the "Green Ethernet" and the "Energy Efficient Ethernet" option off, it made a change for about a minute until it went back to the problem mentioned above. Does someone know anything I could do to try and fix this?
My system specifications are as follows:
Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
DirectX 11
8 GB RAM
AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor 3.5GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GT 640
Update: I closed a suspected process with the name of "mdm.exe" and deleted its entire directory, since then my PC is running as it should, but since it was found in the AppData folder, there could be more of them hanging around, however you can never be so sure.
