JR didn't find anything and AdwCleaner only found one thing which probably wouldn't have caused any website problems.

 

Process Explorer didn't show anything unusual running so I doubt you have an infection.  It's possible you might need to change you WiFi Channel.  Your router is supposed to choose the best channel but often it doesn't.  (Every AT&T router in our old apartment building was on channel 6 so there was quite a bit of interference.)

 

Download inssider

Double click to install it. Then run it by right click and Run As Admin.

It will show you a graph in the bottom right that has your signal in blue and competing signals in orange and yellow.  It may also recommend a different channel which might have less interference.

Moving to a different channel (by logging on to your router) can drastically improve performance.

 

 

 

What is the model number or part number of your Acer?

I'm going to be off for the evening, alarm rings early for work... so if I don't respond you'll know why.

 

Have a good evening and I'll check in tomorrow as soon as I can.
