    Open your HOSTS file in Notepad (c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/HOSTS). It should have these two lines:
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    ::1 localhost #[IPv6]
    Any other lines should start with "#" which tells the system to ignore them since they are for your information only. If you have a line with "microsoft.com" in it, that may be your problem. You may have malware that did that. Have you scanned your system with a good malware program like Microsoft Security Essentials? Have you kept your system up to date via Windows Update?

    Did you say that it only affects Microsoft sites and all other websites work? There is no "setting" just to block Microsoft.com, however some malware block Microsoft sites to prevent Windows Update from working and to prevent you from downloading their free antivirus tools. So the important question is whether or not Microsoft sites are the only ones you cannot get to.

    As roncerr asked: can you reach every website you try to on the internet except Microsoft?

    Also, what link are you using to get to the Microsoft site?

    Have you checked the HOSTS file as suggested in one of my previous posts?
