During the last days I have encountered problems with my internet connection. Websites take an eternity to load, pictures load incomplete or not at all (the daily screenshot still hasn't loaded after I was done writing this post), etc.
Yet my computer is the only one (of our five computers in the house) with those problems and several speed- and pingtests also say that nothing should be wrong.
Now the best part:
Slow loading websites with pics that aren't loading correctly load FASTER and with all pictures loading correctly when I'm accessing said websites through the first proxy I found with google.
Believe it or not: even the local google loads faster through said proxy.

Make sure you dont have that worm that redirects you through bogus servers before you even get to your destination. Look it up the FBI found the servers a while ago and left them on because so many ppl in the us were infected. But, they are shutting them down in a month or so and if you dont fix it your pc's and even your router could be screwed...
Internet D-Day or something its called...

@x DBS x
AFAIK those servers are already down. There was a lot of uproar in the media over here because "...millions of Germans might lose their internet access soon,..." if they don't make sure they don't have a certain virus on their computers
@TechnoRabbi
The last mbam scan on my system was performed a day after the problems started and found nothing.

I think it sounds like a DNS problem, speed tests wouldnt be affected by it so could be..
You could try to change the DNS, I dont know how your ISP works but mine has a few I can choose from. If you already have a primary and secondary DNS set try changeing them up, so the secondary is primary.
Or you could just try with Google DNS:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
They kinda have a good step by step on how to do it if you dont know what you are doing, also has the ipv6 DNS there:

Changing to google's DNS didn't help.
Wouldn't problems with the IP provided by our ISP also affect the other 4 computers in our network?

If it's your local network it could be an issue with your router.

Have to agree.. any internet troubleshooting should be done with a direct connection without anything between the computer and internet, just incase its something between that is causing it.
Usually if other computers work fine and the computer with a problem still has it after removing routhers/switches its either:
1. Firewall
2. Settings(DNS, proxy)
3. "its a computer" can be pretty much anything then
Another thing you could try is another program like chrome or firefox if you only use IE, or try IE if you dont use it.

Whatever the problem was, it's gone now. It disappeared as sudden as it appeared.
The problem was definitely neither router nor the LAN-switch, because switching around the cables didn't change anything.
The cable to my comp was also not the problem, as it had shown exactly the same behavior with different cables.
The firewall settings were the same they had always been.
Maybe it was a DNS problem after all? But if it was, then why did the change to the google DNS, even after a reboot, not change anything at first?
Speculation: maybe UAservice7.exe had to do something with this, since the problems more or less stopped after I deleted it?
