It could be that the tcpip.sys file, in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers
folder is missing or damaged. There should be a copy of that file in the
C:\Windows\System32\dllcache folder. The C:\Windows\System32\dllcache folder
is a hidden, system folder, so you will have to set your folder options to
Show hidden files and folders and deselect Hide protected operating system
files. Copy the tcpip.sys file from the C:\Windows\System32\dllcache folder
to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers folder.

The above error might be indicating Winsock corruption. Please see the MSKB
article referencing Winsock corruption, for which I provided a link in my
original reply.
Since the problems that you're experiencing *may* be due to malware, I would
highly recommend registering and posting at a forum that is dedicated to
malware information and removal. Here are a few that you could choose from:
