System Specs:
Windows 8.1 x64 PC
Version: 6.3.9600
Recently, within the past couple days, all of my web browsers have ceased to function. Google Chrome - Freezes generally within 30 seconds of use. Sometimes instantly freezes. Will only load some webpages during times it is not frozen these include gmail and facebook. Internet Explorer - Will not load anything but homepage, if I try and load another page the circle just keeps spinning and nothing happens. Firefox will only load my homepage and will not load other pages.
I have noticed that all three programs do NOT close completely. I have to CTL + ALT + DELETE all of them and even then usually nothing happens when I try and end the task. I have attempted several fixes. I reset my TCIP/IP, I have rebooted, rebooted in safe mode, ran multiple virus/malware scans (Sophos Security and Malwarebytes), I have tried fixes for google chrome including reinstallation and enabling/disabling extensions. Currently installed are: IE (Latest version) - No extensions or addons, Firefox (Latest) - No extensions or addons, Google Chrome(Latest) - No extensions or addons.
Note: When I ran Sophos Security it returned several errors regarding Google Chrome:

Malwarebytes came up clean.
At the moment every single other program on my computer that connects to the internet such as video games, skype, etc all work perfectly fine. However, I have zero access to web browsers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Note: I cannot access this forum on the compute at issue.
