Yes, I did send a Ticket to MWO Support (around the 18th of Nov.), but Alex posted in Workarounds (about a week or so ago) that they were backed up and working on getting to people as quick as they could.... I hate to say it, but I have a feeling I am not going to be "gotten to" for awhile if its been this long.
-My OS is Windows 8.1 with a 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
-I use McAffee Antivirus, which told me I was clean
-Don't know what "Malewarebytes" is Prae
-My ISP is Verizon and I don't know if I have a Firewall (how would I find out?)
Support could take a while right now.
K Cool, with your system do you know if you have admin rights? (Normally you will see an yellow and blue shield before the command on the left side like this:

)
The reason this is important is that it will affect how programs run on your system (better or for worse, worse only with these issues).

Malwarebytes will at least identify issues on your system to see if your system is clean or not.
Therefore if some programs cannot clean your system of certain issues than there are others that can help in many cases.
Nonetheless, knowing that you have Verizon, tells me that that you can have an issue with your ISP, where it losses data and so on with its connection to the internet. So your issue can have an element that can be tough to resolve on your own as a result.
And a Firewall is often software (and hardware sometimes) that controls how your computer accesses the internet.
So here you have a chance to tweak settings to work around issues with access. On Windows 8 there is a native firewall and there are other options like ZoneAlarm depending on how they get setup that would need tweaking for gaming.
There are other software, but I haven't bothered with much beyond ZoneAlarm for now in my case.
to find out what you have running depends on what is installed and what icons you see on the bottom right of the desktop; as far as I know so far (it can vary across systems).
