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... ATT says it's a regional outage, should be fixed some time today. I'm not hopeful.

Is that it? ATT is your internet service provider, and it was down a week in such a way that you could access one website only? That just sounds wrong.

It sounds like they were hacked bad, and only the active links survived the attack so that one site was accessable. Really weird.

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
Bud I don't have a Smartphone. Just a pay-as-you go flip phone from Tracfone. I really don't know what the problem was, after being told it would be up in a day. I really hate computer problems.  Regards, Bob

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. Thank God it's not a virus! I think it was a dodgy modem- I've had to replace two other ones of this model. Thank you for taking the time to help. Regards, Bob

Seems either a re-installation of windows or a backup of your boot partition is the next step. What in such cases at times also helped me out is using Tweaking.com 's Windows AIO Repair. (there's a portable version available). Run that in safe mode (you can choose to do that from the main menu). Also check all basics like SFC (via Windows Repair), and via a command sript, (running as administrator) DISM maybe too, searching for window's corrupted files. See: command scripts . - F
