Question Connection Problem

[Elasis]

Whenever I open my PC(Desktop) and connect to the internet other devices' internet connection weakens and mostly they lose connection. How can I fix that ? a Friend of mine said that my PC might have gotten a virus but I don't think so.

What's your connection system?
Modem, router, switch?
Wi-Fi or wired?
How many other devices?
What is your usual upload & download speed?

What do you have running at PC startup which connects to the net?
Check Task manager's Startup tab if you're not sure.

Sounds like something at PC boot is connecting and hogging.

I am using Wi-Fi but I connect my PC to the internet with an Ethernet Cable there are like 2-3 other devices. My usual download speed is around 25mb/s and the update is 5mb/s.
at the startup, I have got Discord CCXProcess, Deamon tools, Utorrent,Spotify, Lightshot and Steam. I have just noticed there is smt called *Program* I can't find it on task manager processes. I will turn those off but I got no idea if they are essential for anything.

One of our experts will correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you don't need those starting at boot time. You can start any you need manually after Windows has settled down.

Software has a nasty habit of setting itself to start with Windows, so it can quickly get crowded at boot time. Minimize that happening.

smt called *Program*

Where are you seeing that?

Startup Tab

That is suspicious—disable it and reboot.

I'm not expert enough to guide you further, so let us know how turning off those worked for you. If you're still in trouble, someone else will pitch in—good luck and welcome to the forum

Alright, I will let you know. Thanks!

You could run this and check PC = https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download

not sure how starting PC would weaken the connection of other devices attached by WIFI, the router should be sharing its connection more evenly.

torrents could perhaps do it though, if one starts as soon as you turn PC on

As you say, if one starts with boot. Sometimes when I'm downloading say a game or video, it'll make opening a new tab here spin its wheels for a while.
