Check your host files
Sorry I did not notice the google only virus .
This is a malware , run malwarebytes or Gmer , they should find a suspicious file atapi.sys file in c:\windows\system32\drivers.
If the above programs don't fix it , you will need to copy the same exact atapi.sys from a healthy pc but with read only attribute ("attrib +r atapi.sys" command to make the file read-only on)

everything suddenly works again, i went to check my host files there was only one trial host file but not what i expected :IPs with host names next to them .( i didnt know what a host file was so i googled it and that what i read) i don't know if that's normal.
i ran malwarebytes it didn't detect the atapi.sys file.
to not open any other new topics: on the same laptop, WiFi suddenly disconnects and never connect to the network again,( to the network not the internet) until i restart my router ps: no other device faces the same problem
thanks and sorry for any inconvenience.

Looks like a driver issue or power policy going haywire ..
Update your wireless card driver and in its setting remove the turn off device to preserve power ( do the same in the advance general power settings)

i'll look into that.
thanks much appreciated.
