Hello Corby, and welcome to malwarebytes.... Try this fix to see if it helps... (NOTE: you may only have to do step 3 below)

Step 1: Verify Internet Connectivity of Internet Explorer:

Backup the Registry:

Modifying the Registry can create unforeseen problems, so it always wise to create a backup before doing so.

• Please download ERUNT from here
  
• ERUNT (Emergency Recovery Utility NT) is a free program that allows you to keep a complete backup of your registry and restore it when needed.
  
• Double click on erunt-setup.exe to Install ERUNT by following the prompts.
  
• Use the default install settings but say NO to the portion that asks you to add ERUNT to the Start-Up folder. You can enable this option later if you wish.
  
• Start ERUNT either by double clicking on the desktop icon or choosing to start the program at the end of the setup process.
  
• Choose a location for the backup.
  
  • Note: the default location is C:\Windows\ERDNT which is acceptable.
    

  [*]Make sure that at least the first two check boxes are selected.

  [*]Click on OK

  [*]Then click on YES to create the folder.

Note: if it is necessary to restore the registry, open the backup folder and start ERDNT.exe

Once you've done your backup, please do the following:

• Click on Start and select Run
  
• In the Run box copy and paste the text in the following code box exactly as written and press Enter or click on OK:

  REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v GlobalUserOffline /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
