Network Issues: LAN shows connected but not able to connect to internet

If you are faced with a situation where your LAN connection shows "connected", and there are no error notification on the network icon in system tray, but you cannot connect to the internet, then try the following.

I had Kaspersky AntiVirus removed and ever since I could not connect to the internet though all my network adapters shows fine.
