PC freezes when connected to internet

Need a bit of help here. My PC began freezing the other day as soon as it's connected to the internet. Turn my router (& internet) off, and the PC eventually comes back to life.

Strangely enough, the PC doesn't freeze up when in Safe Mode with Networking where I can browse the internet OK. When the PC does freeze I can't see any particular proccess hogging the CPU (whose activity isn't high anyway).

The reason I suspected a virus was that for some reason all my system recovery points had gone. I know certain viruses can do this.

I've installed 3 different AV products done full scans and they've found nothing.

I've installed 3 different anti rootkit products and they too have found nothing.

So I'm not sure it's a virus/malware.

Attached are DDS and HijackThis logs.

All help much appreciated.
