No internet after scan....

[behindtheicon]

I scanned my laptop Wednesday and malewarebytes found 3 PUMs. I quarantined them and everything seemed fine. The next day I didn't internet and I haven't been able to get internet on it since.

It says its connected but "acquiring network address" or it's connected but I'm still not getting internet. Today it's back to acquiring network address. I'm using AVAST anti virus and whatever happened disabled one of my shields and I can't enable it or get into my firewall settings like it told me to do.

I've been searching all day for a fix and nothing has helped! I've installed that SUPER Anti-Spyware program (ran a scan and it's clear), I've tried the winsockxpfix thing (I don't remember exactly what it was called... sorry about that.) and I've been told to go into my tools and check/uncheck boxes. I've also tried ComboFix, but I don't have something and it needs the internet to install it and when it continues anyway it shuts down before it can scan the laptop.

I don't have the exact PUM because I was told to delete them but they were disable antivirus, firewall and updates/security?

I've ran Malewarebytes and the super anti spyware programs again and they're clean. Did Malwarebytes do this? I've never had this problem before and it's been a great program so far...

I'm using Windows XP and that's all I know about it at the moment.
