Internet connection working, but internet browsers not working.

I'm not personally having this issue, but posting for my brother while talking to him over skype. He can use skype, steam etc just not actually use his internet browsers. Internet browsing features on steam are disabled as well. He is not in offline mode, and he has a direct cable from the wall to his computer, so no router issues. He switched the internet connection to his old computer and it's working, so has to be something on the computer.
Does anyone know solutions to this? He is currently scanning with microsofts own malicious software removal tool, and is gonna try malwarebytes after in case he doesn't find something.

Or IE could have a proxy set in it.
Righto, he has checked for proxies in windows settings and they were not checked. Is there anywhere else this could be fucked up?
And what does the DNS being funky mean, and how does he fix it? I am rather computer illiterate sadly, thanks for helping.
That should give a walk through on how to change it. The ones I typically use are:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
Mainly because they rarely have issue, and hey, google.
He just has a cord from the wall outlet to the computer, no modem or router involved.
Weird.
