If I am not wrong the problems started after you have installed the Trend Micro Antivirus aka PC Cillin. Whatever version be it it is known to Block ICMP requests (both outbound and inbounds) and that is the sole reason that you are not able to ping. You uncheck this ICMP blocking and put it in exception list of the AV.
I hope things would work fine henceforth.
