One way to solve the problem would be to back up your important data (redundantly) and then re-install Windows after formatting the drive. Check with your System maker's Support to see what you need to do that (and you may already have what is needed). You can buy the Windows install disks from the System maker cheaply if needed since you already own Windows. Another method would be to make sure the malware is detected and removed with the internet access being restored. Try repeatedly tapping F8 as you boot and Select Safe Mode with networking. If that works proceed with the methods below. (You can try Wired and Wireless access if you have both available.) If that does not work then use another computer to download the needed programs and drivers and transfer them to your machine on removable media. These can be done in Safe Mode - repeatedly tap F8 as you boot however you should also run them in regular Windows when you can. Download malwarebytes and scan with it, run MRT, and add Prevx to be sure it is gone.

(Run UnHackMe) http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/thread/a8f665f0-c793-441a-a5b9-54b7e1e7a5a4/ This is my generic how to for proper driver updates : You want to update the WiFi and Wired (NIC) drivers. This utility makes it easy to see which versions are loaded : DriverView - Free - utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description, version, product name, company that created the driver, and more. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/driverview.html For Drivers check System Maker as fallbacks and Device Maker's which are the most current. Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - write down the make and complete model of your video adapter - double click - Driver's tab - write down the version info. Now click UPdate Driver (this may not do anything as MS is far behind certifying drivers) - then Right Click - Uninstall - REBOOT this will refresh the driver stack. Repeat that for Network - Network Card (NIC), Wifi, Sound, Mouse and Keyboard if 3rd party with their own software and drivers and any other major device drivers you have. Now go to System Maker's site (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (as rollback) and then Device Maker's site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI as examples) and get their latest versions. (Look for BIOS, Chipset and software updates at System Maker's site while there.) Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - Right Click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation. Always check in Device Manager - Drivers tab to be sure the version you are installing actually shows up. This is because some drivers rollback before the latest is installed (sound drivers particularly do this) so install a driver - reboot - check to be sure it is installed and repeat as needed. Repeat at Device Makers - BTW at Device Makers DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - check manually by model. Manually look at manufacturer's sites for drivers - and Device Maker's sites. http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm
How to Install a Device Driver in Vista Device Manager http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html If you update drivers manually then it is a good idea to disable Driver Installations in Windows Updates, this leaves Windows Updates ON however it will not install drivers which will usually be older and cause issues. If Updates suggests a new driver then HIDE it (Right Click on it) and then go look for new ones manually if you wish. How To Disable Automatic Driver Installation In Windows Vista - Drivers http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/ http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730606(WS.10).aspx Make sure you know the login details for your wired/wireless router - SSID and Password. You will lose connection when doing this and have to redo your logon. Control Panel - Network & Sharing Center - on Right Side click Customize - Set Network Locations page - on lower left click Merge or delete networks locations - DELETE ALL instances of your network (and any others you no longer use) - REBOOT. Start - Connect To to logon on to Network. Hope this helps.
