Question Issues with All Web Browsers

[zxvipers]

I've been having issues with Google chrome lately, which could potentially be after I used a VPN. These issues also occur when using Microsoft Edge too. I've reinstalled Chrome and deleted the cache and also uninstalled unwated programs on my pc however webpages are still loading slowly or failing to load. I thought this could be malware, opinions?

Have you scanned your system with an app like Malwarebytes?

I did yeah, I used the exact antivirus actually. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out what it was, it could've been automatic changes in the firewall settings when I launched the vpn im not too sure, however I factory reset my pc and it is back to normal
