Computer working until I renewed my Spybot license.
Though startup has always been slow, I didn't have any trouble connecting to the internet until after I renewed my Home Professional Spybot license. Then, since it required a restart to finish installing, I shut down for the night. This morning, I've been unable to connect to the internet (no problem with my other devices), and windows troubleshooting wizards for "Internet Connections" returns:
"The remote device or resource won't accept the connection." without a repair option. I opened Spybot and ran it (had also run it last night before the update with no significant threats). It took 52 min to run and returned the normal list of minor threats (seems to be the same list each time), but this time when I clicked on "Fix selected" it froze up.
So I looked at my processes and saw that a heap of sdonzccess.exe #32 processes were still attempting to run (almost 2 hrs after starting my computer). I closed all those and now Spybot finished it's fix. However, when I try loading a web page (tried using Chrome and Opera), I still get a message "Unable to connect to the proxy server"
Is there something else I should be doing here? Please help.
Thank you.

Haven't run any of Spybot's advanced tools since I'm not an advanced user
Please advise if I should go ahead with any of them (startup tools or system repair).
