How Do I Disable Proxy Settings? Need Help Turning It Off! or How Do I Disable Proxy Settings on My C

OP Reply:

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions! I tried the inetcpl.cpl method and unchecked the proxy box—seems to work so far!

But now some sites load super slow. Could it still be related? Or should I try the DNS thing next?

Also, ran Malwarebytes and found a few PUPs. Yikes. Gonna clean those up and see.

You guys are lifesavers!
