Windows Control Panel
Network Connections
Local Area Connection
or
Wireless Network Connection
(whichever one of those you are using)
That will get you to a window that will let you disable (and, later,
re-enable) internet access from your PC.
Or, if you are paranoid (and wired), simply unplug the network cable.
If you are running firewall software (which you should be), there's
almost certainly a way to turn internet access off and on with that.
Just how to do that depends very much on the software in question.
