malwarebytes software slowed my downloads?

[sparrowman]

I have installed a malwarebytes 2.1.6.1022 and it is cracked.
I run a scan and i removed the malware, adware and pup optional. I deleted them. Suddenly my speed download fluctuates and i have a Intex router. Should I change my ip address or should i change my router.
If i will change my router so the problem will go??

please help me what i will do now. Should this problem will go itself after 2 weeks? Should i change my router so that my ip address will change?

I'm not convinced there is a 'problem', other than:
Self-inflicted malware
and
Relying on your internet download manager to monitor your internet speed.

That is the conclusion I am coming to as well. Everything sounds fine to me on his download speeds. If you have a 4Mb plan that is around 450Kb download and ISP never guarantee the speeds it is always "up to" 4Mb.

i think this software blocks my routers ports. Thats why i have fluctuating speeds in my laptop also.

Put your mind at rest - take the ShieldsUp test at https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

If it says you're in the clear, you are.

the site u have given, i have visited it. Here is written Click here to check your router now... And i clicked on GRC's Instant UPnP Exposure test. Then my router's results came.

Universal Plug n'Play (UPnP)
Internet Exposure Test
This Internet probe sends up to ten (10) UPnP Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) M-SEARCH UDP packets, one every half-second, to our visitor's current IPv4 address (117.197.242.41) in an attempt to solicit a response from any publicly exposed and listening UPnP SSDP service. The UPnP protocols were never designed to be exposed to the public Internet, and any Internet-facing equipment which does so should be considered defective, insecure, and unusable. Any such equipment should be disconnected immediately.

Your equipment at IP:

117.197.242.41

Is now being queried:

THE EQUIPMENT AT THE TARGET IP ADDRESS
DID NOT RESPOND TO OUR UPnP PROBES!
(That's good news!)

There is no question whether hackers are, in fact, currently sweeping the Internet for the presence of exposed and vulnerable consumer Internet routers in order to gain access to the private networks residing behind them. Just such hacking packets are now being detected across the Internet. Scanning is underway and the threat is real.
Whenever changes are made to your network configuration, whenever you update your router's firmware, and also from time to time just to be sure, you should consider re-running this quick test to confirm that your Internet-facing equipment is continuing to ignore all attempts at its subversion though the Universal Plug n'Play (UPnP) protocols.
Positive results seen
This page has reported 26705 positive “exposed” results.
The count is incremented only once per router IP address, regardless of the number of times the test is performed on an exposed router. Although we do not log the IP addresses of the results, we maintain an “MRU” (most recently used) list in RAM to prevent multiple counts per router.
What results are possible?
It's natural to wonder what other results might have been shown if your Internet equipment were different. So to satisfy that curiosity, here are three sample screens showing each of this test's three possible outcomes:
A sample “Exposed” result
A sample “Rejected” result
A sample “No Response” result
About UPnP and what this means
Here's what you need to know about Universal Plug n' Play (UPnP):

UPnP has been provided and enabled by default in consumer Internet routers since 2002 or 2003.
Today, any home appliance — TV's, DVD players, game consoles, IP cameras, printers, fax machines, and you-name-it, includes support for UPnP.
UPnP is a “zero-authentication” (no passwords required) system for allowing networked devices to discover and easily connect with each other on a private local network.
Additionally, software such as Skype and BitTorrent, and gaming consoles, which wish to be “seen” on the Internet, are able to use UPnP to open “holes” through the protection normally provided by routers in order to allow “unsolicited” traffic to enter.
THE HUGE MISTAKE IS: No part of UPnP was EVER MEANT to be exposed to the EXTERNAL public Internet. It was only ever meant for private local control of devices and routers. Its exposure gives malicious hackers direct access to the inside of any exposed private network. It was a huge mistake for it ever to be exposed. Router manufacturers are at fault, but all they can do now is offer updated router firmware. Now that the mistake has been made, responsibility rests upon router owners to somehow eliminate that exposure.

The Security Now! podcast episode (#389) which immediately preceded the addition of this UPnP exposure testing facility, is available as a video on YouTube, or as downloadable high or low bandwidth audio. During that presentation, I explain to Leo and the podcast audience exactly what HD Moore and Rapid7 discovered during their comprehensive scanning the Internet during the second half of 2012, and I explain what it means for those whose Internet routers are exposing this privileged management interface:

In my router's setting, there is a upnp setting. Should i unselect the UPnP option for two or three days because here it is written THE EQUIPMENT AT THE TARGET IP ADDRESS
DID NOT RESPOND TO OUR UPnP PROBES!

Dude you really need to read. It says "THE EQUIPMENT AT THE TARGET IP ADDRESS
DID NOT RESPOND TO OUR UPnP PROBES!
(That's good news!)"

Do you not see the (THATS GOOD NEWS!)? You are thinking there is a problem when there is not. Your internet is fine, if you don't like the speeds your getting you either need to go to a faster plan or a different internet company.

still struggling to fight my problem.

As said, I am not convinced there is an actual speed problem.
You pay for 4Mbps
Your speed test result is 3.38Mbps

What else were you expecting?

I'm out. I have cars to fix and ribs to smoke.

listen u cannot believe. I think there is a problem in upnp. Before one year
i have activated upnp and that time all are ok and speed super fast. Now something i don't know this anti malware software has involved in my routers settings. I have deactivated my upnp and my speed is now stable. Yesterday my speed dropped to unlimited. And the speed was 53 to 56 kbps and it was good enough like before. Then again i activated the upnp and i tried to download something in internet download manager to know what speed i am getting now. So the speed was ok. Now today again i have now 4 mbps speed. Today in morning i download a video in internet download manager and it works good. And i did not believe it how it happens? In afternoon again same problem. my speed fluctuates. I m a normal person. I don't know what is UPnP and how it works🙁

Maybe you'd get a better and more reliable speed if you stopped using that Proxy address near Wichita. We've had occasion to ban a lot of posters who went down that road and you wouldn't want to be mistaken for, say, am Internet Troll - would you?
