    Tried to download what, the MSRT ? If IE can't download it then that's a sure sign that the system is infected.

    See if there are any entries in the hosts file that are blocking downloads from security-related sites.

    Hosts is located in WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc

    Double left click on hosts and open it with Notepad.

    If no sites have been added to the hosts file, then the last line should be

    ::1     localhost

    IF you see any entries that show microsoft.com and malwarebytes.org that look like these

    127.0.0.1  microsoft.com

    127.0.0.1  update.microsoft.com

    127.0.0.1  download.microsoft.com

    127.0.0.1  download.windowsupdate.com

    127.0.0.1  malwarebytes.org

    delete them. Close the hosts file by clicking File, then Save.

    Now see if IE can reach http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

    If it can, than download, install, update, and then run Malwarebyte's Anti-malware.

    Be sure to click the Download free version button.

    Do the Quick Scan first [ the Default scan option ]

    Could you do the above ?
