If you can download updates for Windows Defender, then you /are/ able to
connect to the internet.
Whenever you ask a question about Internet Explorer, please tell us:
* what version of Internet Explorer you are using; and
* what version of Windows you are using (with the service pack number).
Do you have the same experience when you start Internet Explorer from
the 'no add-ons' icon?
If you have XP: Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools >
Internet Explorer (No Add-Ons)
If you have Vista or 7: Start > type Internet Explorer in the Start
Search box > click Internet Explorer (No Add-Ons)
Do you have the same experience after you have reset Internet Explorer
settings?

Problems with Internet Explorer can also be caused by by malicious
software ('malware') that you have unwittingly installed on your computer.
P.S. The wireless portion of your internet connection ends at your
wireless router. From there onward, your connection the internet is wired.
