TIA.

Looks like you've got some problems bud. Mainly something that set a Proxy server.

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = *.local;127.0.0.1:9421;

To fix this one, you'll need to go to Control Panel\Internet Options\Connections\LAN Settings, and then uncheck everything listed under Proxy Server. The only thing that should be checked on the LAN settings page is Automatically Detect Settings.

That's probably a big part of your problem. And indication that you could be infected with other stuff that might not be making itself evident.

You've got a ton of stuff running that doesn't need to be as well.

All of the above doesn't have to be running at startup, and you'd see a good performance boost if you set these to manual start instead of starting up automatically. But it's not actually hurting anything, just slowing things down. To change these to manual start, go to Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Services. Run the Services app, and go through the list and find the corresponding services that match the above. Change them from Automatic start to Manual. It's good to familiarize yourself with the Services app, because it allows you to control everything that's actively running on your system. Pay notice to what's listed as "Started", and if you have any questions about anything, feel free to ask.

Also, you seem to have both Avast and Panda antivirus running. 2 AV programs running at the same time can produce bad results, and in some cases it will really slow things down. Eliminate one or the other.

I'd begin by making the above changes, and then running Malwarebytes.

I'd really recommend purchasing Malwarebytes Pro as well. I can't stress enough how well the Pro version of the app works. It's an active scanner that catches a bunch of what Avast or Panda would miss. It's very well worth the price for the Pro version.

Hope that helps!
