Solved: Can Connect to internet only in safe mode Win 8.1 - after some malware remova

Hi. I'm afraid I botched my system by using multiple malware programs and then finding that I was unable to connect to the internet (but still can see the router). I have an acer laptop with win8.1 installed. I am able to connect to the net in safe mode with networking but not in ordinary user mode. I've tried some things based on other posts, but I've been out of the tech world for too long to figure this out. I'm hoping to get some help so I don't have to do a reset and go back to start.

The system has been working great for over a year, but last week i began having some random audio stuff play with no apparent reason. So I figured it was malware and I began loading malware sw and doing scans. In the heat of the moment, I did whatever the malware sw said to do. Then, poof, no internet. Later uninstalled the malware scan sw but still no net in normal mode.

I am using the ethernet adapter to connect to my router, but I have the same problem using the wifi adapter. I figure that since this thing works in safe mode, there must be a way to solve the problem without a complete reset. Tried to restore an older backup and the backup file was unreadable. Yipes! I'm pulling out all my hair! Thanks for any help you can give!

Here is my ipconfig from normal mode:
