Internet works in safe mode only

I used to have connectivity issue before and the internet worked in second half of the day and not the first half....now it is not working at all. The error is connection time out and too long to respond.

Now, the things I've tried.

Flushing DNS

Creating new location

Creating New Wifi

Removing every login items from User & Groups

Removing and adding chrome from Security & Privacy

Renewing DHCP lease

Adding random IP in DNS Server and then auto detecting the IP again (which used to work perfectly fine before)

No proxies checked

The internet I use is mobile hotspot and that's the only connection I've....two of the phones I use and the internet there is good and no issue over there.

The ping in Mac is fine.

Wireless diagnostic says review basic wifi practice.

Internet works only in Safe boot mode.

I installed Malwarebytes yesterday and scanned it but no malware detected.

That's unfortunate.

What steps to follow?

Proxies---- Yes 8 of them.

I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what malware is installed. Download EtreCheckPro from https://www.etrecheck.com and run it. Create a new reply and use the "Notes" tool below to add your EtreCheck report. Using the link above, you can download EtreCheck from the Mac App Store or download EtreCheckPro directly. The Mac App Store version has not yet been updated, so download EtreCheckPro instead. All of EtreCheck's security and malware removal features are available for free.

If malware is installed, EtreCheck will help you remove it, although you may have to supply a password. If you aren’t comfortable with that, just post the EtreCheck report here and other helpers can tell you exactly what files need to be deleted and how to do so.
