DHCP Client wont start after removing virus in AFD.sys file!!

I have problem on pc that had viruses removed but now can no longer obtain an ip address.  After running CCleaner, Combofix, Malware Bytes, Super Anti-Spyware and TDSSKiller.  I believed I was home free until running one last scan with Microsft Security Essentials and removing win32.sirefef.gen that was detected in afd.sys.  After removing and rebooting I no longer can start dhcp client service, hence not receiving an ip address.  If I give a static ip address, I still cant connect.  I have replaced the afd.sys file with one from a different XP pro system.  Please Help!!

You may also have damaged or lost windows files.  Run SFC /scannow and have your XP Cd handy.

@jmaggio322,
"Proxy Fix" is menu item #4 in RogueKiller - already mentioned.
very well but read the rest of my post I didn't just mention doing a proxy fix

I found the complete solution elsewhere, but this was the closest answer to what I was ultimately needing to do to fix the issue.
