Will not aquire IP in normal mode. Safe mode works.

[mkeathley]

I have a computer that will not get an IP in normal mode. It worked fine with it was infected. But after I ran SuperAntiSpyware and malwarebytes it doesn't get a IP now.

Safe mode works. I'm sure this is left over from the infection.

But my question is is there a tool/utility to reset the networking back right?
I've used winsockfix and deleted the network card and reinstalled with new drivers from the ASUS website.

Does it connect to the network ok if you set a static IP ?

I have had something similar happen in the past. In my situation, the malware changes the browser proxy to the loopback address. The malware runs a mini server so all traffic going out via the browser comes back through the malware (so it can look for sensitive information I guess).

Internet worked fine while the malware was installed but once I killed it, the net stopped working. The loopback address was still there but the malware-server wasnt to pass the information on. Obviously, once I cleared the loopback proxy everything worked fine.

Also seen the problem limited to the user account that was infected. Often a new user account works fine.

I have seen that a few times to. Many new fake AV programs do it.

Yes and this one did have that proxy problem as well. I had cleared it before I ran into the problem above. But i have more than one today with that proxy.
