I've got some sort of virus that has stopped my windows media player from working and I can't get to my Task Manager. It have been messing up my explorer connection when I tried to log into Yahoo mail.
So I got a bunch of free anti virus/anti spyware programs and ran them. None of those did anything. Now, all of the sudden I can't get to the internet via my computer (although I can still use Xbox live so I know the juices are flowing through the cable so to speak). It says I have "Limited or no connectivity" or something like that. Right now I'm using my computer at work.
Could this be the virus or could it be a firewall blocking the internet connection entirely or what? Any advice?

Definitly, a virus can do anyhting from nothing to corrupt all your files on your system. I suggest AVG free edition. If it was a firewall, you need to go to the setting and change it to accpet sites and cookies of that sites,.

I suggest that you try to carryout system restore to a day previous to the day when there was no virus or any problems. It may be a few weeks or months back. You have to decide the date. Detailed instructions are posted at http://fixit.in/systemrestore.html
The problem is likely to be solved. Then,You insatll a standard antivirus soft ware such as Norton, AVG , Avast ( free antivirus software and Ad-aware, Ewido ( free spyware removers). You can download free softwares at

Sounds like a problem with your network card or drivers.
Try booting to safe mode (hit f8 while booting before windows screen) Then disable the network card. Reboot the machine and reactivate.
Then see if you can get the latest drivers on another machine.

The first concern I have is you say you have a bunch of AntiVirus and AntiSpyware programs on your computer.
AntiVirus programs can cause simular problems especially if you are using more than one. You should not have more than one AV program on your computer. More than one AV program will cause them to conflict with each other.
You can and should use more than one AntiSpyware program.
