    you also want to reset winsock..

    1. Open up command line (on Start, Click Run, type: cmd)
    2. On the black window, type: netsh (hit return)
                                                type: winsock reset (hit return)
                                                type: exit.
    3. Then restart your pc.

    what does winsock reset will do?

    Winsock is a program handles input/output request for internet applications/network. since the virus attack, it could have been damaged.

    netsh reset winsock catalog
    Reboot
    Well this might help as suggested by Paul.
    But I some what do not feel as this is really a virus attack..
    Have u check your DHCP..is it working properly ? how can you be so sure that it is a virus attack.

    Have you done the RapidRelease and Full Scan in safe mode without network ?

    Run sysinternals rootkitrevealer...coz if its a threat then i guess only a rootkit can handle this trick properly..

    Submit those suspecious entries to the security response website.

    After submitting to Symantec, you may need to delete the files manually.

    Please check your start up items and services

    1. Click Start
    2. Click Run
    3. Type: msconfig
    4. Select the Startup Tab (uncheck suspicous programs running)
    5.On the Services Tab, select to hide Microsoft Services (uncheck suspicious programs running)

    Delete the files manually, and then remove the registry entries for it.

     Well if it is rootkit nothing will help ...best option would be to Symantec Tech Support. So that they can help you submit these files. Also read this article as this might help.
