Well, I'm not entirely sure - I changed the name of my ethernet back to
"Local Area Connection", but I couldn't remember the original names of my
loopback and tap interfaces (installed with CoLinux). That didn't fix
anything, but I thought it might be because not all the interfaces had
been reverted.

So I deleted all my interfaces and created them again with the Add
Hardware wizard. They showed up with names like "Local Area Connection 2"
- Windows remembered that I'd already had a "Local Area Connection" but
then deleted it. This really annoyed me, cause I didn't want them named
so sloppily. But that didn't fix the problem anyway.

So I uninstalled and reinstalled Sygate, thinking that maybe it scanned
the interfaces on installation and would have problems if the names didn't
match exactly. That still didn't fix anything.

So I've given up and just clicked the "Hide Notification Messages" in the
Sygate firewall, and I'll hope that the spurious blocks don't hurt
anything and that nothing else weird happens.
