Downloading crashes internet explorer

Hi and welcome to sevenforums,
Use Clean boot,
https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/179159-troubleshoot-application-conflicts-performing-clean-startup.html
Click Start and type in the search box,
msconfig
Click on the suggestion on top or hit the Enter key,
Go to the Startup section and take some screen shots for a complete list,
Go to the Services section and on the bottom left Check the box to Hide All Microsoft services,
Repeat the screen shots,
See the links above my signature on how to take and upload screen shots here,
Cheers.

Did a clean boot, everything that isn't Microsoft on startup and services is turned off, download problem still persists. Working on screenshots now.

Edited

Hi,
After please open Chrome,
Take additional screen shots of the Extensions section ignore the Privacy safeguard pointer unless it exists
Make sure Chrome Background apps are not running when Chrome is closed.

You can use these free tools to see if they find anything,
Manually Update them before running full scans,
Try not to use your computer while the scans are running, (one at a time of course).
Uncheck the box to Activate the Free trial from the final install options,
Also use the Custom scan option not the Threat scan,
Select the drive to scan usually C,
If your really infected check the box to scan for Rootkits = this scan option will take several hours to complete,
Never use your machine while scans are running for best results,

This one is the longest up to 4 hours, the others are only about 45 minutes,

Post all scan reports please,

Hi,
Depending on what was found please post the scan results for review,
Reset would be most likely needed,

You had Conduit, can you confirm that AdwCleaner removed that?
