I know this is a dumb question ... but you are connected to the internet
when you use ping, correct?
Are you behind a firewall that prevents ping? Can you ping anything else
(www.microsoft.com)?

I suspect that someone committed a capital offence on your
PC by naming a batch file "ping.bat". Bad, bad news. To
confirm this suspicion, type this command instead (verbatim,
please!):

%SystemRoot%\system32\ping.exe www.google.ca
 
SOB i am going to kill who ever does this.

it's com files
ping.com
netstat.com
regedit.com
taskkill.com
tasklist.com
tracert.com

all of thease are 1kb

I thought you needed to type "www..." but just plain old google.ca
worked for me.

Malware is usually NOT a virus. A virus is a program that
propagates itself without the user's knowledge or consent.
Malware is usually downloaded from a site WITH the user's
knowledge and consent (i.e. by a mouse click), often
because that site says "Download me to speed up your
Internet access!". Malware is very easy to write - anyone with
a small amount of programming experience can write an
executable that creates a few malicious files on the target PC
and deletes a few important system files.

You can compare downloading malware with children accepting
sweets from a stranger. Most learn their lesson early. Others
learn after a bad experience. A dog will probably eat a tasty
sandwich lying in the gutter. Most humans won't - they know better.

Virus scanners will NOT pick up malware - it's an impossible task.
They must concentrate on self-propagating viruses.

It's certainly true that not everyone uses the term in exactly the same way,
but as far as I'm concerned, "mal" is short for "malicious" and "ware" is
short for software. So "malware "is malicious software of any and all types,
*including* viruses.

Here are a bunch of definitions that generally agree with mine:
