But Steve, I hate the Eagles!

Ron, not saying this is the end all fix, but there may have been an issue with your Hosts file. Easiest fix is to just delete it, and the next time you load a browser a new file will automatically be created. This article from Microsoft also has a fix program in it. After that, use something like Spybot S&D to help keep it protected (the Immunize feature, the program is a free/donations accepted anti-malware program)
