Briefly explain your current issue(s)
Windows can't detect Wifi, start the firewall, pc very slow
Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful
https://malwaretips.com/blogs/malware-removal-guide-for-windows/
I am not even desperate anymore, I am ready to face my faith.Before I do so and take my 2 months old laptop to service on monday, I thought I should check if there is anything I could do to save it.

Anyways, after getting malware and adware on my pc thanks to my stupidity, I decided to follow this guide: How to easily clean an infected computer (Malware Removal Guide) .
After I completed step 6 and restarted, my pc could not locate any Wifi, I got a notification from Avast that my Windows firewall is down and cannot be turned on, and I am practically unable to enter Control Panel as it takes 20 minutes for every action. On the other hand, browsing my other files is quick as it was before I made all those mistakes. I have some basic knowledge, but as you probably guessed I am not proficient, but my guess is that I might have deleted something with Adwcleaner..
Any help is much appreciated

Some malware problems can be remedied by following a guide if you are somewhat experienced however using certain tools do require having some knowledge of the tool and what you are removing.If you read something and have any doubt whatsoever it is best to consult an malware removal expert.
