VIRUS Please help

[wwefan365]

I got a message saying that I had a virus and the only way to delete it was to buy some software that i had never heard of. I decided to ignore it thinking that it was a scam and i restarted my computer. When my computer comes back on i no longer have any threats and everything seemed to be working fine. I go to AOL thats working, than to Firefox  which is also working. I finally go to internet explorer and it says that i am not connected to the internet. I restart and try again and the same thing is happening. iTunes is also not connecting to the internet. Does anybody know what this is and how i can fix this. I am really bad when it comes to computers so if i do not have certain information that you need to know please inform me and i will get it. Thank you for your time.
