LAN Connection Internet Only Works in Safe Mode w/ Networking

Hello hello, So last night I was cleaning up my computer; I have a free version of Norton I can get with my cable subscription but it conflicts with the Avast! I had; so I uninstalled Avast! installed Norton, and uninstalled Spybot because something was wrong with it and I kept getting little notifications about it. I had Netflix and Bitorrent up and suddenly everything locked up on my comp. and I had to restart. When I did that the screen blacked out and said it was doing disc checks/scans and deleted a lot of orphan files. (During which I completely freaked out because I didn't know what was happening.) When it booted back up it seemed to be running smoothly, but would not longer connect to the internet. I restarted a lot, but nothing was changing. On a whim I started it in Safe Mode with Networking and the internet appears to work fine. I'm not sure at all what happened. Admittedly it could potentially be the torrent since that happened just before it went crazy, but my scans haven't caught anything. I also remember Norton asking to use a proxy (I use a proxy) but I didn't think anything of it and said yes (I read somewhere it could be that but don't know how to fix it). I also hadn't restarted in a while, but I can't think of anything else new that I did other than those things. As some background on my computer, it's running Windows 7 and it's a couple of years old. It frequently over-heats and had a major shut-down for reasons that are still unclear a few months ago (bad tech. guy fixing it). But everything had been working more or less normally until last night. The internet I have currently also works through a LAN connection (German dorm room). And when I start in regular mode if I have the cord plugged in it'll say I have internet but nothing will work, and when I take it out and then back in it'll say there's nothing at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm a student and my computer is essential to life.

Hi there,
my name is Marius and I will be assisting you with your Malware related problems.

Before we move on, please read the following points carefully.

• First, read my instructions completely. If there is anything that you do not understand kindly ask before proceeding.
• Perform everything in the correct order. Sometimes one step requires the previous one.
• If you have any problems while you are follow my instructions, Stop there and tell me the exact nature of your problem.
• Do not run any other scans without instruction or Add/ Remove Software unless I tell you to do so. This would change the output of our tools and could be confusing for me.
• Post all Logfiles as a reply rather than as an attachment unless I specifically ask you. If you can not post all logfiles in one reply, feel free to use more posts.
• If I don't hear from you within 3 days from this initial or any subsequent post, then this thread will be closed.
• Stay with me. I will give you some advice about prevention after the cleanup process. Absence of symptoms does not always mean the computer is clean.
• My first language is not english. So please do not use slang or idioms. It could be hard for me to read. Thanks for your understanding.
