Browser Issue

[Natureguy04]

I keep getting this error ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE on some pages. It's usually pages that i'm about to submit a payment to. This pages work fine on other computers. I had to recently change some proxy settings for a program I use for work. That was 6 months ago. I also have issues with Google maps finding simple locations that it use to find with ease. It gives me Server Error messages all the time now. I don't know how to changes those proxy settings back or if that is even the issues. See attached pics.

What browser are you using?

[Natureguy04]

Chrome. But I have the same issues with I.E. as well.

[DaveLembke]

I'd run malwarebytes to make sure you dont have something else going on here. Both browsers same issue = suspicious. Might be something nested in your user profile that is bad.

[Natureguy04]

I've done that. The problem still persists.

[DaveLembke]

Were there any virus or malware detections that were cleaned up in this process?

If you create a new user account for the computer, does the problem also remain on a new user account to where its a system wide issue with computer, or does problem go away in which it is a profile issue?

Open a command prompt on Admin priveledges...
Run below commands one by one.
 Hit Enter after each.
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /all
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew

netsh int ip set dns
netsh winsock reset

Now Restart your PC.

It found 15 suspicious files and deleted them.

I don't know how to create a new user profile.

I've tried this 3 times and it doesn't seem to help.

Do me a favor then...travel to speedtest.net and check your connection speeds...

We're also gonna need more info on how you setup the proxy...

[Natureguy04]

ok, So I created a new profile and the sites that I have the issues with work fine. So it appears my main User Profile is the issue. It is set up as an Admin. Which I just read about and I guess it's not a good thing to use the Admin profile as the normal Profile. I will try your next suggestions and report back.

[Natureguy04]

attached is my speed test. I don't know anything about Proxy. Just FYI. I have very limited computer knowledge.

Well at least you have a sweet connection....    

[patio]

Forgot to add...it seems the user account was the culprit...if it all runs fine for a few days consider it fixed...

[Natureguy04]

but that means my Admin Account is corrupt or something yes? How do I fix it? Or is it not Fixable?
