Problems After Fixing Anti-Malware Doctor

Hi,

Go to control panel->network connections and open your network connection there.
In its connection status window click properties.
Uncheck WinpkFilter Miniport and uninstall it.
Reboot and see if problem still exist (run WinsockXP if needed).
 
Hi,

Followed your instructions, unchecked WinpkFilter Driver, uninstalled it, and rebooted. Still no Internet connection.

Then tried WinsockXP from my flash drive. Ran it, rebooted. Still no Internet connection.
 
Does the device manager still show exclamation marked items? Please try to uninstall your network card via device manager (it should be installed again after reboot).
 
No, there are no items with exclamation marks in the Device Manager. The two items with the exclamation marks from before are not even listed anymore.

Could you please provide more details on uninstalling my network card? Not sure what to do here.
 
In device manager network adapters section you should see your network adapter. Right click it->uninstall and have a reboot. System should detect the card again.
 
Okay, I know this is probably really simple but under the Network adapters section, I see two items: 1) 1394 Net Adapter, and 2) Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection.

Which is the one I should uninstall?
 
By the way, when I rebooted the computer, the card was recognized as new hardware but when I open network connection, the original connection is no longer listed.
 
Does the device manager show any network adapters/devices with exclamation mark? You may have to install network card drivers (those are usually bundled with computer on a cd/dvd).
 
The device manager shows nothing with an exclamation mark.

I don't have the CD that came with my computer. My computer is about six years old so I lost all packages that came with it.

I tried downloading the Intel(R) PRO/100 VE network driver from another computer and use a flash drive to run the driver on mine. I ran it and the problem still exists.

Do you think my computer is just too old and broken?
 
Okay, after hours of working on the problem, I finally got the Internet back up. The trick was downloading WinSockFix from a website other than the one I got it from before.

My computer seems to run smoothly. Any other steps?
 
Good to hear that connection works now :)

Any other steps?

Yes, I'd still like to see if Kaspersky scanner finds anything. Post back the report + fresh dds log.
