I would install ccleaner, and Microsoft Security Essentials (antivirus). They are both free downloads and are excellent.

Malwarebytes is good for when you have malware problems. But you don't really need to install it until you suspect you have trouble.

Hey, thanks for the info. I just installed both of them and it works perfectly.

But when I open my inernet explored/chrome/safari, none of them can go to my home page nor to any other sites. Is any of those programs are blocking it? Or something is wrong with my own Internet? Also it's my first time having this problem.

Other time I would just restart my PC or turn off the wireless router, madam, and it worked. But not mow.

I am now writing it with my iPhone and it uses the wireless router.

Ps: I am connecting my PC with Internet wire from router to CPU.

Are there any flagged devices in Device Manager? Did you install your motherboard and Ethernet drivers?
