    Let's try couple of things.
    Leave only this computer connected to the router, disconnect two others.
    Turn off computer. Reset modem, and router. Restart computer.
    Same problem?

    If so, turn off computer, connect it straight to the modem, bypassing router.
    Reset modem. Restart computer.
    Same thing?

    Got it working. Seems like it wasn't a result of malware at all, it was all in the router. I reset it to factory defaults, but it was still happening, so since my router acts as a modem as well, I changed the setting to bridge only and set up a PPPoE connection on my computer settings. It worked, and I decided to try going back to PPPoE on the router, and after I reset it worked.

    Thanks for all the help you've given me, and even if it wasn't malware in the end, you've helped me a lot over the past few days to get to the bottom of the problem.

    Hey, you took a big weight off of my head, because this issue was driving me nuts :)

    One more experience, and one more lesson to learn.

    Good going :)

    I'm going to mark this thread as resolved.
