Ok so I torrented a program yesterday from a high rated source. Ran virus scans on the file using avast. All clean. Program works fine. Last night I noticed that my internet was extremely slow, I couldn't even watch a twitch stream on mobile quality. But my speedtests were fine. I figured it might resolve itself with time so I went to sleep. But what do ya know? Still slow this morning. I tested stuff out and every other device in the house can run any stream in 1080p with no buffer. But still not my desktop? I wondered if it could be a browser issue, tried installing Firefox, download corrupted. Tried installing opera, download corrupted. Tried a VPN, still slow. Then, just now, I was loading into a game of CSGO, and I was in a TS server with my friends, and I got attempting to reconnect in TS, but it was fine in game? I noticed skype was also trying to find signal, and nothing would load in chrome. I could talk in game chat and I played the entire game fine. I closed out of all the programs and tried reopening, but none of them would even run? I have run full sysytem virus scans multiple times, all coming back clean. I am honestly beyond confused as to what is going on. I need some serious assistance. I won't be able to test any solutions until the morning. If you have any further questions about my setup or diagnosis I will do my best to answer as best I can.

Uninstall the program you torrented and report back.

Just control panel remove programs uninstall? Or is there a special way I should go about doing that

Ok I uninstalled and deleted all program files, still lagging on Twitch streams, but programs opened before I deleted it anyway so that part is fixed

Basically it feels like I'm getting throttled, as nothing on the Internet loads quick anymore, but in game on CSGO I get constant 15 ping, No Spikes, and my laptop which is connected to the same internet can watch in 1080p+ with no buffer at all, so I know it's computer side

A system restore should sort your problem.

Sounds like that torrent was dodgy or your PC rejected something.

Factory reset? Or just like a jump back in time reset?
