So , my Laptop has been acting strange. I can no longer go on Google Chrome or any other program that requires connecting the internet besides Firefox which im using currently , it has something to do with my proxy server or something and i've looked at videos and I dont know what to do. I really need to know because I am going to buy a game for PC that requires me to be online and I cant because my stupid internet wont let me connect to it. can anyone help

be more specific, error messages or something else when you open chrome?
screenshots can be useful as well

is this your personal laptop or has it been set up for a school/workplace or anything? Do you have admin privileges? If your account doesn't do you know the local admin details for the laptop and can log in and check the proxy there?
Download malwarebytes and try that, last I recall it didn't need an internet connection to install and shouldn't need to update before scanning.

haven't been on a windows computer in a while so i'm doing this from memory.
go to start>control panel>system security>windows firewall
after that make sure to allow the hitman program to run (under allow a program to run). or just disable the firewall for now.

I've ran into the same problem as you before but I can't remember how I fixed it. Have you tried turning off your firewall completely and trying it?

Shut off your computer and then reboot it in "safe mode with networking" and then try to run the internet.

Wow it worked this way , so do I have to do this every time I wanna run the game or what because Safe mode is annoying lol.

Now that you're in on safe mode, you can try that Hitman thing on Firefox or try downloading a different software to check for viruses, malware, etc.
Once you do a clean up of your computer you can try booting it up normally to see if that resolves the issue.

Well at least you're able to connect to the internet now for the time being. It'll give you a way to try other programs or do more searching for a solution.
