Unable to open IE - virus related

This morning, the "spyware protect 2009" virus screen was up on my computer (left my computer on overnight). I did not realize what it was so I'm sure I clicked some of the buttons before I eventually realized what it truly was. The symptoms are the consistent virus alert popup dialog boxes notifying me that the computer is infected. Additionally, the computer is unable to connect to the internet and IE responds with the message "IE unable to display the webpage." This same message and connection difficulty had happened to me a week or so ago but I was able to fix it by using System Restore. However, today, the System Restore had been corrupted so there were no earlier dates to from which to restore the system.

I went and bought a physical CD copy of Norton360 and was able to install it although it seemed to hitch a little during the install (my CD drive has also been unresponsive at times - not sure if this is also a function of the virus). after installing norton360, it could not complete it's startup procedure without internet access. i started in safe mode and then was able to run a full norton scan on the drive. It found the following viruses and says it removed them: suspicious.vundo.2, infostealer.banker.c, and spywareprotect2009. After a reboot, the virus alert popups screens are gone but I still cannot connect to the internet via IE.

I was able to download HijackThis from an uninfected computer and transfer the install file using an external usb drive to the infected computer. I turned off Norton and ran the HiJackThis program. Attached below is the logfile. At this point, I am out of my depth and not sure exactly what the problem is. Not sure if Bankerfox.A is fully gone or whether I have other viruses trhat prevent me from connecting to the internet. Given that I had connection difficulties a week or so ago but no virus alert popups at that point, it would seem logical that i had another virus a week ago but today i had the additional bankerfox.a as well.

any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
