Virus disabled my laptops USB ports, what can I do?

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium on a Gateway NV53 series Laptop. I got a virus that hijacked my computer and wouldnt let anything run known as a auto.inf virus. Well after receiving this virus i quickly scanned and removed all viruses from malwarebyte anti-malware then proceeded to do a clean install. Well the clean install went good i'm virus free (i think) but my USB drives don't work. All devices work properly on other computers. Even while booting up the USB doesn't turn on ( i plugged in a USB mouse.) Most cases I've read the device will turn on during boot and get disabled and was fixed easily. But in my case its not working at all. I've tried to uninstall all drivers, in regular and safe mode, nothing. Went in Bios its running a Pheonix Bios with no advanced settings at all. I also tried to go into the registry to see if there was anything abnormal but everything seems okay. I don't know whats going on, someone with this experience or knows how to get around this PLEASE HELP!
