Internet only works in safe mode after virus

[FXGuy3369]

I have a friends PC running Windows XP SP3, and it had some major virus infections. I ran MBAM and got 14000+, Spybot found 99 More, then I ran Combofix, I am currently running Super Anti Spyware. The machine seems to be virus clean, but it will connect in safemode w/ networking but not regular mode. I have checked everything I can think of but can't figure it out. I checked IP address, proxy settings, reset winsock, etc. If I go to cmd and ping a site like google or yahoo it pings fine. What can I do to determine my problem?
Thanks!!!

Update - I suspect it has something to do with some Norton or McCrappy leftovers. I ran removal tools for both of these (he had old versions of both installed) but when I go to msconfig and make changes it still says I dont have permission to make certain changes, the same way as I see on Norton / McCrap systems.

Did you check in IE tools, internet options, connections, lan settings? Make sure all is unchecked.

he's better off with a fresh install.

Yep. Even though the virus was likely removed, the damage and results are still there. I wouldn't trust the system anyway until you do a fresh install and start over. Might want to look into doing monthly images in case this happens again, you can simply revert back to a previous image without having to redo everything.

netsh int ip reset c:\reset.log

and

netsh int winsock reset

Run both of those commands and reboot.
