deleted malware, now cant connect?

General Computing Microsoft Windows

Cleaned my nieces computer of about 300 files of adware, trojans, virii, spyware, etc. but now I cant connect to the internet! Anyone heard of this, where you remove some malware, and it disables your net connection? Ive tried to repair the connection, etc. but no luck.

Thanks

EDIT
when I open up the connections…and hit repair…it says it cannot repair, that the IP address needs to be renewed…
so I go to command line…type ipconfig/release, then ipconfig/renew…but it wont renew…says that the requested service is unavailable??
thinking of just reformatting anyways…
