Common problems are:

 

Bad Date & Time: Are you sync'd with Internet time? https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/ef0cdb1a-8f8a-4b8e-bbe5-44566223a4bc/how-to-sync-system-clock-with-internet-time-in-windows-7?forum=w7itprogeneral 

 

Malware Proxy:  Try disabling proxy: 

Temporarily Disable Proxy Service or Web Accelerators
  1. Go to Start > Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections tab.
  2. Select the appropriate Internet Service:  Click on LAN Settings if not using dialup
  3. Clear/Un-check all boxes under Automatic Configuration.
  4. Clear/Un-check the box under Proxy Server.
  5. Click OK.

Disconnect Internet and reconnect.  Does it help?  Verify that the changes took by repeating the above.  Malware will often put the proxy back by the next reboot.  Some anti-viruses also use proxies so it may not be an infection.
