I know this may sound crazy, but is your ISP bill up to date? It sounds as if your internet access is down. If you cannot receive e-mail as well and this happened just "overnight" there is a problem with the ISP. I have DSL access and yesterday my DSL would connect and train up. However MSN had their server go down yesterday and I was dead in the water. I was connected, but no access.
Assuming the Virus scan was negative and your Internet provider was paid up, then it might be the cable itself or the provider has a problem. I think you said you have a cable modem, so be sure someone didn't "unplug" something somewhere or the cable company didn't screw up.
