[SOLVED] nic no cable attached after virus removal

[Deek]

Hey all,
Win7
I already cleaned the system of all it's infestations. During the removal process, the network card quit working. It reports "cable disconnected". I have seen this before but have always been able to do a system restore after clean up to fix the nic.

I have already:
- cleaned the system
- netsh int ip reset
- installed latest nic drivers
-combofix

But the nic still thinks it has no cable....know of any utility that might fix this?

Sent from my phone...sorry for typos

Are there any yellow or red flags in device manager?

Turns out it was just a bad update...Apparently the filter driver for the new AVG 2014 causes this behavior....Once I removed it all was well.

FYI - an uninstall of AVG2014 didn't remove the filter driver from the NIC, I had to manually uninstall it.
