McAfee antivirus blocked network's DNS?

Here's a queer one. I am a mac user, my other two roomates are PC users. We have dsl, and we're all networked via a linksys cable/dsl router. Tonight, my roomate decided her pc was overloaded with spyware and the like and downloaded McAfee virusscan to try and clean her computer up. Once she started the scan, all my DNS abilities went out the window. Hotline (for those of you who know what it is, but point being it doesn't use DNS) worked, Gnutella worked, AIM worked, but not a damn website would load I didn't have the IP for. Soon as the scan was done it came back. Does anyone know what would cause this and if so of a workaround so she doesn't constantly mess up my web browsing?
