Default Microsoft.com DNS is Screwed Up

I'm having a little bit of trouble, and I can't quite tell if it's a virus or not. I know that Microsoft.com is up and running, but I can't access it from this computer or my desktop (which was just wiped; I was getting updates when I discovered this). If I go straight to "65.55.21.25", the page will attempt to load, but several objects will be missing (presumably because they are written in the site's code with reference to the microsft.com DNS). So, would a virus cause this? Nothing else is wrong. Idle, the desktop still runs at 14 processes (which is what it had when it first booted up).

I'm going to run some scans to see if I can figure out what's going on. I thought maybe a simple script had messed with my hosts file, but everything is fine there. The only listing is "localhost" as "127.0.0.1" as it should be. It just seemed a little odd to me that these two computers would both start acting up like this at the exact same time. I know that no router settings have been changed lately that would cause this.
