@Locutus: I thought he had fixed the virus already?
@PCbasics: If there is still a virus problem, maybe you should try Super AntiSpyware.
Well it's one of those settings that viruses change when they arrive and malware software don't (is that the correct form?) change back.

It's probably caused by the virus. Check under tools – internet options – connections – Lan settings. If use proxy server is checked, uncheck it.
That should re-establish your browser connection.
Also check if your NIC hasn't been disabled too ( I had a scenario where the virus disabled my Nic card ).
