Can you access another computer and load an antivirus/malware cleaner onto a USB and move that to the infected one and run the scan like that? (either run in windows or from boot up)

Go onto another computer, and download malwarebytes and a good antivirus to a flash drive and copytem to your systems folder. Most likely this virus is stopping the download request based on port 80, so if you have all the files, you should be able to download it locally. Then after that, spend all of your waking hours tracing and locating the virus's sender, and become skilled in the art of H4CK5 and rDDoS the IP. Or not.

Logon in Safe Mode with Networking to download the antivirus, or scan the system with online antivirus.. you may get better results than scanning in normal mode. While in Safe Mode and before you scan, disable startup programs in Start\Run or Search bar and type "msconfig" (no quotes), press Enter and in the Startup tab, uncheck all processes including the installed antivirus which may be infected. Be sure to re-enable the antivirus before loging on in normal mode.

ardeare: "Cannot download any programs"

--> to save us the risk of wasting time you need to expand on this i.e. what - exactly! -makes you think this is a virus.....give us more info.

There are other reasons for not being able to download.
