I previously removed some spyware and etc… New scans do not detect anything using multiple tools but the home network always seems to slow down or drop connections when the the pc is connected. Sometimes when pages are loading it will not load and appears to fail and than it will refresh and load leading me to think a dns problem. I replaced some of the intranet sites with xxxx on the log file. Also, I have a vpn on the router. Thank You in advance.
We do not work with HijackThis anymore for a long time.

I had to add another local network range in the ProxyOverride registry entry which seemed to be the trick.
