32-bit Programs Cannot Access Internet

I've been experiencing internet issues for the past couple of days, which I eventually narrowed down to an issue with 32bit programs only, I believe, since at least 64bit IE and Hitman Pro both work. I'd previously posted in the networking forums here: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=266949 , but I suspect that the issue may be malware related, so I'm going to make a post here also. I've done many a scan with various malware scanning software and my system seems to be turning up clean, but it doesn't make sense that after doing my best to rest all of my internet settings and reintalling various browsers such issues continue to persist, including the prevention of windows update from downloading and installing updates properly. As such, I suspect that either malware is still on my computer, or it has left residual damage on my internet settings somehow. See attached for logs. (Note that I did a scan with roguekiller in which I did delete files before reading all the procedures on major geeks, so I've attached two separate files for before and after removal)

Here are the requested logs, along with results from a new scan by Hitman Pro

 

I don't see any malware related problems.

I see a bunch of errors being generated regarding Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1

I'd uninstall it and then run the attached .net Framework cleanup tool.

 

I've uninstalled the 1.1 framework and ran the uninstaller tool, but all the same problems still seem to persist... I'm at a loss since I changed precisely no system settings in between having and losing internet, so I don't know what could have happened if not a malware issue.

 

I would either continue with your thread in the Networking forum or create a new thread in the Software forum, because I do not see any malware here.
