It's running much better! Do you know anything about the DNS server not responding? That seems to hang up my browser too.

Good to hear.   :)
 
Let's see what we can do about your DNS hanging....
 
Please open an elevated command prompt > Click Start and type cmd in Start Search.
When cmd.exe populates above, right click it and select Run as Administrator to open an elevated command prompt.

 

Copy and paste the following bolded entries (one line at a time) into the command prompt and press Enter 
 
IPCONFIG /RELEASE  (press Enter)
 
IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS (press Enter)
 
IPCONFIG /RENEW  (press Enter)

Close out of the command prompt and reboot.
 
Try to connect to the internet now and let me know if that helped.

The system runs smoothly. I had to reboot the laptop and run the troubleshooting but it's good now. :)

So I guess that's it. I want to donate to PayPal on Friday for your help since I really appreciate it. Is Paypal always available on your profile page?

Hi Jeff,

 

I haven't run Malwarebytes and ESET Scanner yet. I'll be doing that shortly. 

 

Maybe you can help me understand something: I just upgraded my internet from 20mbps to 24 mbps, and still I find basic videos buffering. It seems to take a while for the internet stream to catch up to the video. Do you know why that could be?

 

I have 44 gigs out of 116 gigs left on my C:. Could that be a reason? If so, how do I create more space on my C:?

You would be assuming that it is actually 24mbps unfortunately....there are many reasons why your internet could be running slow with malware only being one of them.

No...this should not be causing anything like this.  You are working with just shy of 4GB of RAM though.  You could try and get more RAM but not sure that would really help the internet speed though.

 

When you get the two logs from Malwarebytes and ESET be sure to post those.  :)

Everything is running better. But I still notice videos buffering and I'm not sure why.I ran a speedtest and it said I had a download speed of 21.23 mbps. I really thought that would be fast enough to run videos. I had Time Warner a couple months ago in a different apartment and I could watch any video without it ever buffering. This is just kind of nuts.

*** I only use Chrome but I went to IE just to test it, and the same videos buffer way too much. It seems that I need a T1 line just to watch videos. And I know that's not the case.

You said the same video.....do other videos have the same problem or is it just the one?

Some videos play just fine, while others buffer way too much.

Jeff, I just had a page hanging for almost a full minute. In the bottom left corner, It read "Waiting for i1.ytimg.com"

 

I don't know what that means but it oscillated between that and something else I can't remember.
