Where I stand now: I haven't been able to get any restore points to work, so still no connection. I was still getting the random link redirects in Chrome, so I ran AVG and Malwarebytes again, AVG found nothing, Malwarebytes found a few things and then my connection was lost again. I was able to complete a system restore to the previous night and my connection was restored (Ideally I would have gone back further but no other restore points restored successfully, seems to me another red flag that there are issues). After rebooting, I no longer had connectivity to the internet (I confirmed that the modem/router are fine with other computers, even a separate Windows install on the same PC, all connected fine). This led me to scan using AVG which found/fixed a couple of things, then just to be thorough I scanned with Malwarebytes. For example clicking on a google search result link would take me to some site with lots of page content generated from my google search query. This all started when I was getting random(?) redirects in Google Chrome from just about any link I would click on.
