    Not sure what your normal virus protection is but I always recommend Avast. They have 2 versions and one is free. It has worked very well for me.

    Not likely a virus. Likely a malware thing.
    Take your pick of adaware, spybot, or super antispyware. All are free and do a great job.
    If all of those fail, try ComboFix.
    If that still doesn't work, try checking your TCP/IP settings.

    Oh sorry didn't see the last line of your question, thought it was part of your signature.
    Try ComboFix. And double check your TCP/IP settings. I've seen malware that changes your DNS settings then the program deletes itself.
    Control Panel>Network & Internet>Network Connections
    Right click on the adapter you are using and select properties
    Check the properties of both TCP/IPv6 & TCP/IPv4
