By gum you've figured it out! Thank you so much for that, I can't believe weeks of googling didn't bring me across that article. Even the windows repair tool works fine now! My gratitude really cannot be expressed through mere words.

I'll probably work with that file later, but negatory on the proxy on both counts, I've checked the connections tab in internet explorer for it before, and it also wouldn't explain my malwarebytes and couple of other programs unrelated to direct browsing can't access the internet.

No luck with 32bit programs in safe mode with networking, but see attached for log.

I have run tdsskiller a couple of times by now and I think it's always come up clean, I've been trying to troubleshoot this problem for a long while, heh. The folks on the malware forums at MajorGeeks had me run a number of scans and they said it didn't seem to be a malware issue - or at least I'd already cleaned it up before I went to them :/ The ping I've done before also, and it says that four packets were sent and received. Is it significant at all that the 64bit version of IE works just fine?

The batch file did say it activated the service correctly, though.

Hm, I could've sworn I typed windows 7 up there, but there you go. Als the scan said some items were found to be corrupted but not items were able to be fixed.

General Computer Support / 32-bit Programs Cannot Access Internet

So a few days ago I wanted to allow a program through windows firewall but it said it wasn't configured properly and so after some trial-and-error I decided to try a restart to see if that would help matters. Upon restarting it seemed that my internet had failed. I switched between ethernet cord only, wireless only, or both, to troubleshoot if router settings were to blame, but none of the settings worked, and three other computers on the same router still have internet access. Skype still functions properly though, and a few downloads on steam were able to complete properly, however the browser portion of steam could not display anything and internet explorer and firefox both open up but fail to access any webpages. Later I discovered that the 64bit version of IE still works, but that doesn't help the fact that now of my other programs can reach the internet to download or update. Using net info, it seemed to state that "wsahost_not_found" was an issue with my local connection, and I've already tried various basic fixes like flushing winsock, setting dns to the public google dns, and also done numerous malware scans with various different tools in and out of safe mode.

When attempting to use the tweaking.com windows repair tool, I get the error on either step one or two that "execute processes remotely has stopped working"

Windows event log also shows the following errors, which I checked for following advice from another site:

1.The HomeGroup Provider service depends on the Function Discovery Provider Host service which failed to start because of the following error:
 
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.
 
2.The Net.Tcp Listener Adapter service depends on the Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service service which failed to start because of the following error:

3. The performance strings in the Performance registry value is corrupted when process Performance extension counter provider. The BaseIndex value from the Performance registry is the first DWORD in the Data section, LastCounter value is the second DWORD in the Data section, and LastHelp value is the third DWORD in the Data section.
 
4.The Net.Pipe Listener Adapter service depends the following service: was. This service might not be installed.
