Please look at post 4 in this thread.

If there is a check-mark by the option named "Use a proxy server for...."
...then the Address: and Port: fields should be white/enabled
(ready to be typed in).

Are those fields greyed out for you?

Also, what does the Advanced screen look like?


In case you need it: info on making/posting screenshots.

You did not answer my question.
Look at my screenshot in that thread; the fields are white.
Are yours grey?


If you uncheck that option, does it stay unchecked until you reboot?

Review Jacee’s instructions to run Adwcleaner here post #7,
Ignore the title of the thread,

Screen shot of the download button to use for Adwcleaner
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,

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

Post the scan results,
Cheers.

To answer your question paascal. Yes a infection can cause your problem.
Some infections will do that to try and stop you from going online to get help.

I will leave you in the hands of ThrashZone and go back to watching.
