Randomly losing internet

I'm having this incredibly annoying problem where my desktop randomly loses internet connection. Restarting the PC doesn't fix it, resetting the router doesn't fix it, I just have to wait until it comes back. I'm currently running a virus scan just in case something sneaked in.

You mean you're dropping of the network, or do you only lose internet access? If 1, could be a sign of NIC going bad. If 2, could be a sign of router going bad, or just your ISP having some issues.

Wired or wireless? What are you connected too, and what is your internet connection do you have?
