I've seen quite a few systems lately where somehow proxy servers had been set, messing up IE connections.

Alternatively, open Calculator Start --> Run and type in calc, then click OK, then click on Help --> Help Topics.
Top left corner, click on the 'piece of paper with a question mark' icon (in line with the close X) and select jump to url, then in the box that pops up, type in http://getfirefox.com

Somehow??? It's a computer virus (or "malware'). Even if your security software removes the virus, the proxy settings remain. The point of the proxy is to control and monitor your internet connection. But when the proxy server gets taken down by the authorities you lose your internet connection if the virus is not still active or smart enough to change to a new proxy server.
However that doesn't seem to be the problem here. I would try Internet Explorer (No add-ons), to be found under Programs - Accessories - System Tools. After it opens, try going to your home page. If it loads now then an add-on is blocking your connection.

Often true, but can equally result from correct use on a corporate network or VPN.

There is also a Reset in IE...Tools...Internet Options...Advanced (but note the advisory).
