When it opens PG music website are you able to click on links on it and see other threads and stuff?
I think I have had the experience in the past where a web page opens but nevertheless the internet is not working, the page that opens must be stored in cache or something like that.
SO make sure you are are actually connecting to internet ok.
Try a different modem and cable.

More spit balling
Could be DNS cache (so flush it) do try flush your DNS cache. 1. Hold down the Windows key and press R. 2. Type cmd and press Enter run as administrator. 3. In the command prompt, type “ipconfig /flushdns” without quotes and press enter Enter.
Or TCP stack may be corrupted so
1. Hold down the Windows key and press R. 2. Type cmd and press Enter run as admistratorr. 3. The at prompt type “netsh reset winsock” (without the quotes) and press Enter
Maybe simple local network issue
1. Hold down the Windows key and press R. 2. Type cmd and press Enter run as admistratorr. 3. The at prompt type “ipconfig /release” enter then “ipconfig /renew” enter (all without the quotes again ) and press Enter
next Try this command to ping Google’s DNS servers to see if you can get online:
as before from cmd prompt “ping 8.8.8.8”
This will send four packets to Google. If they fail to send, you’ll be told what the problem was.
Next type this line to trace the route between your computer and Google’s DNS servers: tracert 8.8.8.8
The above command gives you a step-by-step breakdown of the path that the information takes to reach the destination you specify. Watch it, and if it fails, check to see where the problem occurs. If an error pops up early in the route, the issue is likely with your local network.
or DSN server (i.e., your ISP may be mucked up)
again you've cold restarted EVERYTHING ?? Larry

Larry, Thanks. None of that seemed to work. Do I need to restart to save the changes?

no on the restart for those actions and what Sinbad said - that will eliminate the PC, then also be nice if you could bypass modem, from within your house connection, and make sure it was NOT you local ISP. this does not sound like a modem issue (more like PC config) but I've been wrong about ten times, just since I woke up, just ask my wife again good luck Larry

Hi Bob,
You say Malwarebytes has gone from the start menu, but have you checked to see if it has disappeared from the Program Files folder. If it still exists in there, you should be able to re-start it and run a scan.
It could be that a virus has just turned it off, but not disabled it. It has built-in protection against that.
ROG.

I was thinking that too ROG. Seemed a little fishy on the Malwarebytes issue like something a virus would do.

Hope he gets it sorted.
Nothing as frustrating as trying to pin down what is causing a problem.
I have spent about 10 hours trying to troublshoot what was causing my Cubase to freeze when I did a re-scan of plugins, and then wouldn't launch again right.
Turned out it was Comodo firewall, so once I unistalled it, all well and good.
But up to 10 hours, computers are so frustrating at times.
Maybe if Bob hasn't sorted it yet and still troubleshooting, have a look at the firewall.

I got a new modem- same story. I also have a banner box with a frowning face on the page.

Definitely sounds like a virus. If it was me I think at this point I would take it to a good tech and get them to fix it, especially if you have important stuff on it such as music files. Pretty hard to do much at your end if you can't access the internet (except for this site?! How strange is that?)
Thing that bothers me is that whatever happened also disabled your malwarebytes, which is also the virus checker I use.

Can you you “tether” your phone as a hot spot to your PC? That would allow you to definitively determine that the issue is your PC. It’s not inconceivable that your net provider is the issue. FWIW

Since it is happening on more than one computer, you should get your internet provider involved. Call them and explain what is happening - and demand that they come fix it. They have people...

I agree with Floyd. If they determine that it is a virus then run the security tango that I highlighted in a previous message.
If your computers are networked together then if you get a virus in one it could infect all on the network.
Good luck.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
