Had a virus on the computer, deleted, now I have problems with the homegroup and DSN

Cause of my current problem:

2 weeks ago, I found that my computer has a virus. He removed the BFE service, firewall Windows, Windows Defender, blocked my anti-virus (Trend Micro), cut other security services... he pretty well blocked, deleted or close all my computer security programs.

I was able to fix, but my computer did not work in the same way.

I was able to return back BFE and Windows Firewall, turn on other security services and get up my antivirus and running. 2 weeks later my antivirus deleted 9 virus and thousand and something web threats.

Now to my current problem:

I was able to establish the homegroup on my computer, but when I check the files that I want to share, Save custom settings, same when I go to a folder and select 'share with homegroup' manually

When I hit Homegroup troubleshooting need to network troubleshooting and I end up getting this error "your computer seems to be configured correctly, but the device or resource (DNS server) is not responding"

I tried following this threat: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/erroryour-computer-appears-to-be-correctly/aeb7b5df-55ac-456e-aba3-96f9d90898d6

Did not work. I tried reseting my router and modem but nothing. I can't first homegroup to work if I does not resolve the DNS.

This problem is probably due to the fact that the virus tried to redirect my DSN to computer hackers, but

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

modem: Motorola MIPDSLA

Router: Cisco Linksys E1000

any other information needed on my computer please let me know

Sorry for this post is really long, I tried to summarize as much as I could

I thank all those who took the time to re-read this threat and decided to help me.

Although there is a small chance, you may be able to fix this on a service by service method, it is may be easier (and faster) to do a clean install.

I would also mention that if you got a virus to trend was obviously not a very good job of protecting you.  May want to rethink the installation of malicious software program.
