You are likely to have infected yourself with a virus and/or spyware or your ISP has a technical problem.
If it doesn't get better in a few days, I'd go down the route of scanning your PC for bad stuff. |

Nod32 free trial is not going to stop nasty stuff getting on your machine, anti-virus software is merely a tool for virus removal, it is not a prevention measure and does not protect against spyware.
However if it's all the machines it's likely to be your ISP, try giving them a call to see if they are having any problems. |

You have to understand that antivirus and antispyware are limited to their effectiveness by the user.
Frivolous downloading and clicking links/banners and they are pretty much powerless. Malware will lay in hiding until it has the chance to install itself. Like during a reboot when the antivirus has no chance of catching it. Also some virus are written very, very well. Specifically written to defeat any security you have in place. The best prevention is the user.
