I recently used Combofix and at my own fault, near the end process of it, specifically after the re-boot, encountered a problem where I could not connect to the internet and most of my default conditions were changed to what I am guessing were factory defaults. Because I had no internet access I went into system restore and restored to the point Combofix conveniently made before running, however I noticed before it made the restore point that Combofix had changed my clock. Were there any other changes before the restore point besides the Clock I should manually fix?
