Computer works but internet connection is gone

Perhaps you could post a list of the files in your Malwarebytes and AV bins, in order for us to see what was corrupted but important.
On another system please download Farbar Service Scanner to a UFD; run the program on your unconnected system and present the report here.

This is why I don't run Windows except on my company laptop, and that is seriously hardened against stuff like this. I am posting this from Firefox running on a clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
