    Default Need Help with a Computer problem

    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?
