spkrmon.exe could slow your internet down till 0 kbp/s and does it to every computer on your network. you're router will say that you're modem line is down, but that's not the problem. spkrmon.exe somehow fakes it in your router. You can shut it down. If your internet slows down and you dont know why go to start/run... and type in "msconfig" without ". then go to Services and search for spkrmon and disable the checkbox. After that reboot your computer and your internet will work.
