I stupidly followed the advice on a forum for some registry edits for Windows XP-deleting WinSock and WinSock2 from the registry and then restarting the computer in hopes they'd re-register themselves. I may have made the problem worse in trying to resolve it. The wireless router/connection itself is fine (I connect to it daily with my laptop, as I am to write this post) but her laptop won't connect to it, we can't browse any web pages. However, we have had no Internet access since the infection. I'm pretty sure we've successfully cleared the virus (an updated/full scan with Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware in safe mode comes up clean).

I'm trying to fix my girlfriend's Windows 7 laptop after she had a virus/malware infection.
