As far as how the computer is working. It seems to be running smooth however wireless internet isn't working it just keeps saying acquiring network address and it won't let me repair or disable. i found this out when i was trying to update combo fix on a previous step. It was able to update with an Ethernet connection. That's about all i have done so far so not sure how everything else is working. Should i start running any programs to look for anything?

I want to focus in on any issues remaining before doing our cleanup steps!

Please delete your current copy of ComboFix and download a fresh copy and run it. Then test your internet and let me know if wireless is restored.
