Is there anyway to disable forced internet settings?

When I try and remove the settings they come right back after I close and reopen

My firefox runs fine but many apps on my computer are WRECKed right now. Steam for example I can't update my games or use the built in browser. Friends list still seems to stay up to date, but avatars aren't generated.

I can't access my LAN settings for proxies either.

I want to fix this without reformatting. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
This proxy server is probably inherited from the system settings. To bypass it:

from an elevated prompt :

Code: 
netsh winhttp reset proxy
 
1.) Run a malwarebytes scan on your computer and clean anything it finds.
2.) You might try this registy setting: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings -> ProxySettingsPerUser
3.) Stop downloading illegal stuff off torrent sites.
 
Speaking of torrent sites, his links are being hijacked to one.
 
Just format it. Probably will save you more time than trying to solve it. You (your rig and browser, not you) are infected to core.
 
Not really. Formatting is the only sure-way to clean up stuff in one full sweep. I hope you don't do internet banking on that rig. If you use SSD, reinstalling takes only 10 minutes and extra 10 for updating if you keep your ISO up to date.

Watch what you download.
 
Bad links in OP, have removed them, any example pics you can upload to here.
 
This is not torrent related.

This should be something fixable via group policies or regedit, thought regedit seems more risky.
 
If you haven't noticed, the links in your first post was hijacked. Your browser was infected. Who knows what else?

This thread is going nowhere, the Op does not even realise that he had linked to a torrent website.
