microsoft tv/video connection seems to take over my internet connection. It moves the speed from around 1gbps to 30kbps Its very strange. I have searched for it and it was a problem in the past but, now, it seems back and this is the first time I have seen it. Somebody suggested that it messes with the ip address. Its VERY strange. It is not in network connections, it is not in installed programs, Its a phantom.
In this forum the suggestion for getting rid of it is to delete service packs 2 and 3 (seems a bit extreme?)
The part that bothers me is that it, in theory, creates a phantom ip address on your computer. I also assume that Microsoft has all the info on this so they can spy on you. I know, this sounds a bit paranoia like but why else would anybody want to do this and then hide everything away?
Once it pops up one cannot stop it, cannot disable it, cannot do a damned thing but restart and hope it goes away.
Anyway, I would be interested in thoughts on this one.
Thank you........
