Suddenly can't connect to the internet anymore for no apparent reason - Win7

Hello,

My recent Windows 7 reformat is suddenly having trouble connecting to the internet. I want to stress that I didn't make any changes whatsoever between the time it was working and suddenly stopped. I wasn't running anything special, I stepped out of the house for 1 hour, I came back to something new--a black screen with only the mouse there--I tried Ctrl, Alt, Del, no response, so I forced the restart, the computer comes back up with no internet connectivity, and although it's Win7, the help from the OS didn't do the trick. I'm on an old laptop now. If it helps at all, going to Run > cmd > ipconfig /all tells me:
Primary Dns Suffix:
Node Type: Hybrid
IP Routing Enabled: No
WINS Proxy Enabled: No

The computer in question is attached by wire to a router that this laptop shares wirelessly.
Thanks
 
Here is the HiJackThis, and the Malware one should be ready shortly:

As for the Malware, it detected 3 Trojan.Agents which I had it remove, and I restarted the computer according to its instructions. The log is here:

Something else I don't like: I just restarted my Win7 computer, and the screen is all black with just the mouse pointer there. This now leads me to assume that in that 1 hour I was out, the computer actually rebooted on its own and gave me this same black screen. I don't like this because I just reformatted my entire computer only 3-4 days ago, and only today was able to finally celebrate rebuilding my entire file system and programs just the way I need them, so I think it's too early for strange reboots and inabilities to reach the desktop. Is there anything I can do to whip my Win7 into shape and move on with my life?

This is so weird.. All I'm trying to do is get into my Startup folder to alleviate it of all the programs I have starting up when the computer starts up (until I'm done with this internet issue, which requires many restarts), and every time I do so, Windows explorer freezes, as if it has something against opening my Startup folder. I've restarted a few times, and, believe it or not, it won't even open my Startup folder in *Safe Mode*. I'm sitting here with the computer in question in Safe mode, and the cursor stays with the rotating blue icon after I double-click the Startup shortcut. Safe Mode never gave me problems before. What's going on?
 
Please rerun Malwarebytes' with the latest definitions (3314), to update open Malwarebytes' select the update tab and press 'check for updates'.
 
I can't check for updates because the internet doesn't connect, but if there's a way to download the latest definitions (3314) on this laptop and transfer it to the computer in question, let me know. Otherwise, has the 3310 log given us anything useful?

Sorry about that, because you cannot connect to the internet using the infected computer please download the newest version of Malwarebytes' using the link that john provided and transfer it over to the infected computer.
 
I do not see anything in the latest hijackthis log that could be causing the issue, but thats not saying that there isn't something hiding in your system. Is it possible that you lost power while you were gone and it has corrupted your system from it being on?
 
Sorry, I didn't notice there was a Page 2.

I'll try the latest version of Malwarebytes that way. I figured at first that even if I download the latest version, it would have to update after installation to get to 3314, in which case it wouldn't be able to anyway, because it would have to update on the internet-less machine.

I don't think it's a power issue, as I have an APC Back-UPS RS 800 that it's plugged into.

Right now I'm 'Upgrading' my Win7 using the CD (not a reformat installation but an 'upgrade' one to repair it) a la another forum's advice, so I'll run the Malware scan after it comes back up.
 
are you positive programs won't update? Fixed a computer couple days ago where their browser was hijacked and the settings were changed, but programs would update still.
 
Have you tried pining websites? tracecert websites? safe mode?
Yes, none of those worked last night. Even Safe Mode froze. Safe Mode!!

Update from today:
The Win7 Upgrade (Repair Install) finished, and I managed to get the internet back by Enabling IPv6 in the Device manager and running the Windows network diagnostic, but then the screen turned all black with just the mouse, as happens often. Why does this happen? I used XP for a while, and it never gave me this. What does it mean? I waited for 10min and I finally got an error message over the black screen:
Failure to display security and shut down options
The logon process was unable to display security and logon options when CTRL+ALT+DELETE was pressed. If the operating system does not respond, press ESC or restart the computer by using the power switch.
15min into it, my Winamp which I opened long before finally opened, because the music started playing.
So I hit "OK" to the error message and the black screen went away. It worked, but it took time. Is there a way to prevent the Win7 black screen?

Edit: Also, how do I minimize the frequency of "(Not Responding)"? I have 4GB of RAM, though I'm not sure that matters for this sort of thing. It seems to happen to me more often and much more easily in Win7 than it did in WinXP, and for longer periods of time. Is there anything I should improve in terms of hardware or RAM, or can some sort of software fix be applied?
