Ok i was having troubles with network file copys from a win XP computer setup as sort of a home file server. When using windows explorer to copy files from the XP box to the Win7 box over a gigabit network the speeds averaged 10-15MB/sec. This is extremely slow for a gigabit network. So i started investigating and notice that if i reboot the Win 7 machine and do a file transfer as soon as it boots it runs at 50-100MB/sec. Then after the Win 7 machine runs for a few minutes the speed drops back to the 10-15MB/sec speed. So i figure its gotta be something loading up thats slowing performance. I then go and make sure all software and drivers are up to date. This did not help. I read about network throttling index and turned it off using ffffffff registry edit also turned the SystemResponsiveness to 100. This did not help. So i turn off firewall internet connection sharing and that did not help. So i turn off superfetch and that did not help. So i turned off Remote differential compression and that did not help. So i turned off MMCS and that did not help. At this point im going crazy and i came across a post on a forum somewhere that a guy turned off his windows firewall and it helped him. So i turn off the win firewall and it did not help. However i played with that and found what did help. If i open task manager and in the services tab find windows firewall. Right click it and choose go to process and end the windows fire wall process svchost.exe which is usually always over 10,000k as far as memory use. Now i go back to the service tab and windows firewall service is stopped. Wait about 1 minute and turn on the service again. Now go to process and its always under 10,000k mem use. After doing all that my network speeds are full speed gigabit 50-100MB/sec. And it will stay this fast until i reboot my PC. I can do this in a matter of minutes and fix my speed issue but was wondering if this helps anyone else with a network speed problem and if there is a fix or reason this could be happening.Any advice you could give to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Just incase you need it here is my system info copyed from everest. I am not using the Atheros Lan that come on the M3A motherboard because it had issues with drivers and windows 7 .So the realtech Lan is the one im using. And the Atheros MB built in lan is turned off in the BIOS.

Hi, To check the issue, please boot the system to Safe Mode with networking and see how it works. If it works fine this time, I suspect there are some conflicts, and please try the following method to find it out: How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7 Meanwhile, could you please gather the following information for our further research? 1. Start Task Manager, click View Select Columns and select PID (Process Identifier). 2. Then provide us the PID of the svchost.exe process. 3. In an elevated command prompt, run the following command: tasklist /svc Please attach the result to this thread. Thanks. Nicholas Li - MSFT

First thank you for the advice it was the service from malwarebytes anti malware that was slowing my network. I cannot thank you enough and i shouls have thought of eliminating services on my own. So thank you again for the advice. now after removing the malwarebytes software and returning startup to normal im at full network speed. I also alerted malwarebytes of the trouble thru there forum to see if they know of a fix. now below is the other info you requested i did it before and after removing the malwarebytes software. svchost.exe pid=1388 is the process i was ending.
