None of the sites you listed respond to pings, try yahoo.com although it sounds to me like your DNS is working.
Check your hosts file - should be c:\windows\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\host(s?) If there are entries for the sites you can't hit then thats your problem, comment them out or remove the entries and you should be golden. I've seen spyware hose the hosts file and if you didn't actually format but instead installed over the existing system this could be your problem.
