There's no such file as "winpppr32.exe" in Windows.

If you mean "winppr32.exe", it isn't a Windows file, either. That
file was created on your computer by the SoBig virus, and it contained
parts of the virus. You don't want that file back. Run a full
antivirus scan to eliminate any remaining viruses on your computer.

Something else is causing the networking problems.
