I launched up my pc and started downloading something on steam (my downlaod is usually around 6megabytes/s but to day it was 300kilobytes/s. i thought it mightve been a steam problom so i stopped the download and went to speedtest.net and it wouldnt even load. ill admit i download from some sketchy websites so i couldve got a virus but the avast! full system scan said i was good. I did realize however that there is this process called basic.exe made by GITMO in my task manager. could that be the problem ? thanks btw i have cox but they've been great
