Additional things to check:
1. Your Router may not have the latest firmware.
My video download speed on YouTube.com went up 270% after flashing my router with the latest firmware - the LAN card had the latest firmware so could have needed replacing if a swap showed it to be the problem.
2. Connect your computer directly to your cable/DSL modem - if the download speed jumps up, the problem is the router - in addition your LAN card may not have the latest firmware/drivers - check on the Internet.
4. Trouble shooting is easier if you have multiple components to swap.
5. Sites sometimes revise their software - devices that previously gave you no trouble can have compatibility problems with protocols they aren't programmed to handle.
6. Note: My YouTube.com speed is 70% of the no load theoretical maximum on my connection so there is still some room for improvement.
Does digital insanity keygen have viruses or malware?
"no. what your getting is what is called a "false-positive." the reason that happens is due to the fact that some keygens are coded similar to a trojan."
This is what I originally thought, once I used it everything was fine and my AV software and anti-malware were not showing any issue's until I used Hitman Pro 3.5 which discovered a Rootkit created from this keygen. Hitman Pro uses a scan cloud system which means it will compare your files against different AV systems it is linked too. The Rootkit will give its creator full admin privileges to your system. I removed all associated files immediately.

Malware is dangerous because of its hazardous implication. It affects your PC speed and also delete your important document from your PC. So, always use professional antivirus softwares like McAfee, Kaspersky, Secure Hunter, Quick Heal et cetera on your PC to protect from malicious threats.
The abbreviation "pkr" and other variations on it like "pk" are sometimes used as short for "packer", especially by antivirus software and companies. Packers are programs that compress programs to be smaller, basically speaking, and also can make them more difficult to detect. Few legitimate programs are packed, so some antivirus programs (like Sophos Anti-Virus) include a special detection for programs that have been packed or encrypted (Sophos detects them as Mal/EncPk). While this doesn't necessarily mean the program is a threat, you shouldn't open it unless you know what it is and trust its source.
