I was convinced the laptop had a virus. I reformatted it and had the same
problem when everything was reinstalled.
Decided to try my PSP web browser and discovered it had the same problem.
So then I realized it was the damn wireless router causing the trouble. I
have no idea why it just decided to quit working right in the middle of the
day.
Anyways, a quick reboot and setup of the router and everything back to 100%.
