So I got infected with a couple malware bugs (ByteFence, .WinYahoo and etc). I was able to run malwarebytes and delete them. However after removal I start having issues with my network connection.
I can open google and run searches all day long. But as soon as I try to reach an external site other than Google or a Google search, I can't connect. I can ping the sites just fine. I've been tearing my hair out all day, and although it's looking inevitable, I would rather not have to wipe the system. So ANY advice would be greatly appreciated
Here is what I've tried/found:

Here is what I've tried/found:
■ Proxy settings on all browsers are set to the proper setting (off or automatic)
■ Did a DNS flush, Winsock reset, and reset all network settings and data
■ Router/modem defaulted and reset
■ Ran multiple Anti-virus and malware programs (MB, Panda, Avast, and etc). None have found anything further
■ All browsers and websites work normally when in safe mode
■ Oddly enough, everything works normal when Panda is running too. But as soon as I disable it or uninstall it, it goes back to not connecting. Almost as if Panda is blocking whatever is messing with my system
■ Google searches on the symptoms have turned up no further info
