some virus disable my internet connection

[faizysahib]

I have ran bitdeffender, AVS none of these detecting any viruses. I know my connection is OK because I am using my laptop from the same router, cables and all the connection are ok, but couldn't get online from my PC. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thank you

P.S. Running Windows Xp

no its not a new computer, and I am using windows XP, its a PC not a laptop. Rest of the computer seem to be working fine its only a internet that I can't surf on. When I type any wed address its just gives me a msg saying " you are not connected to the internet" and other 2 messages diagnose the connections, something like that.

Hi Cohen,
I randomly found this post whilst tryin to find somethin to help with my internet connection. im not great with computers but im pretty sure i got some sort of spyware or malware on my comp somehow.. as whenever i type somethin in google or whatever it started saying 'jumping' then would go to random pages.. then after a while my internet connection died altogether, and thats where im at now. i downloaded malware bytes on another comp and transferred it to my comp, did the full scan and here is the log:
