Who is your ISP?

If it is comcast then it may be they believe you have not paid your bill or have used too much bandwidth and so are directing you to that page.

EDIT : As DrJBHL correctly points out below, you should be very careful it is not some sort of scam site trying to get your private info.

Good point.  It could be a hack to redirect you to a site to harvest your private info.

If it is just happening on the one machine then I would assume something has compromised the entire machine and a wipe and reinstall is probably the best policy.  Afterall if it has messed with dns, who knows what else it has messed with that you do not know about...

If your ISPs vary, have you tried picking a different wireless network in case the one you are using is broken?

A lot of the trends now--though they are still small in number--is "extortionware".  Your machine is infected and you're directed to a site to purchase "remedy software".

I'd contact your cable company and ask for input.

HijackThis may be able to find your problem...unless your IIS got screwed, I'm not sure what could be re-directing all URL's.  Have you tried connecting directly to an IP address?  208.185.127.40 is the IP address for About.com, you may want to see what happens

Have MSE remove. Disable Backup and Restore and re-enable. Control Panel/ Java/ Clear Temporary files cache. Un-install Java.

Re-boot and install: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

That said, personally, I don't think you're going to recover this to normality....or at least anything you can trust.

Well, as now, there is around 400 million computer infected with the virus DNS changer... now, internet browser is redirected randomly at various time to other site... but the 7 March 2012, FBI will shutdown the fake DNS server that they have setup in 2011 when they have arrest the hacker, result will be that people who are infected will not be able to surf the internet at all after the 7 March 2012... 

For test if you are infected, go to http://www.dns-ok.be/ ... if you have a big green "V", everything is ok... if you have a big red "X", it mean that you are infected... in case of infection, there is info and link for removal tool... sorry, it is in French of Dutch...  more detail at http://www.dns-ok.be/dnschanger_fr.html ...

Well, you have maybe not these virus but your symptom are very similar...

If is always useful to have something like SARDU ( sardana antivirus rescue disk utility ) near you... for SARDU, go to http://www.techmixer.com/multiple-antivirus-bootable-rescue-cd-utility-shardana-antivirus-rescue-disc-utility/ or for SARDU2, go to http://www.techmixer.com/sardu-2-create-multiple-antivirus-utility-rescue-disk-usb/ ...

With SARDU2, you have :

- Antivirus Rescue Disk: Avira AntiVir Rescue System, BitDefender antivirus Rescue CD, Dr.Web Live CD, PC Tool AOSS, AVG Rescue CD, F-Secure Antivirus Rescue, GDATA Rescue CD, Kaspersky ‘Kav Rescue CD’ and Panda Safe Cd.

A other good one is Trinity ( http://www.techmixer.com/repair-and-rescue-windows-os-using-trinity-rescue-kit-live-cd/ ) :

"Inside the live CD. you can see a lot of tools like resetting password tool that allow user restore and clear the password of windows and Linux operating system which user can set the password as they want on next OS login. Meanwhile, a tools to remove viruses which it equipped with 4 different virus scan products (ClamAV, AVG, F-Prot, BitDefender) integrated in a single uniform command line with online update capability.

Plus more, it can simple allocated all local files system with a simple script entry and then clones an NTFS partition to another PC over a network, a mass undeleter that tries to recover every deleted file on the drive. In addition, Trinity Rescue Kit (TRK) Live CD also provides for recovering data off a formatted or dying disk, two tools for fixing master boot record repair programs, and hardware diagnostics.

This Trinity Rescue Kit live CD can be bootable within three method like burn into ISO files, USB stick installable or network over PXE.

The best part of this Trinity Rescue Kit live CD can use on all windows and Linux to for repair and rescue purpose."

As you can see, the recent trend in rescue boot CD/DVD/USB is to be Windows/Linux compatible... beware that these linux/windows version are minimal with only diagnostic/repair tool... similar CD/DVD/USB exist for other task like by example diagnose and test a network for security... personaly, i think that they are a must have for any owner of computer... don't wait until you cannot boot anymore for think about these tools...

Well ... it kinda goes likethis ... I did a clean install with the Win7 Professional disk. Everything went smoothly then I discovered my screen resolution was set at 800x600. My normal resolution is 1600x900. I triede to adjust it and the best I can get is 1024x768 ... not acceptaqble as everything thing looks funky. Another thing .... this Win7 was originall y madefor a desktop. Does putting it on a laptop going to make a difference? It shouldn't. Its also missing a bunch of drivers. They're not installed on this OS.

If have look at the screen shot... the java class who use the vulnerability is the "tool" who allow remote execution of code... if it was "used", there is some code elsewhere who was excecuted... code who can be the real virus...

In some way, the java class and his vulnerability is like a backdoor... screenshot show that the backdoor was found but give no information if somebody/something have use it for go inside the system... it is possible that nobody have use it or that hundred of trojan/virus/malware have use it...

By the way, the java backdoor ( CVE-2010-0840 ) work from Java 5.0 update 23 ( java 5.0 end of life is 8 april 2008, end of support 3 nov 2009 ) to Java 6.0 Upadate 18 ( 13/01/2010 )... update 19 from 30/03/2010 is good... The last Java 6 update, the 30th, is from 12/12/2011... Java 7 have begin the 07/07/2011... last Java 7 update, the 3th is from 14/02/2011... Point is that the backdoor is on slot if java was updated after 30/03/2010... same if the class is downloaded from some malicious site, the class cannot use the exploit anymore and excecute remote code...

In short, the screenshot show a tool, and it is not possible to know if the tool was use or not for excecute a remote code... if some malicious code was excecuted, there is something somewhere else in his system...

Is it a full version of Win7 ( box with original cd/dvd ) or a OEM version who was pre-installed on the computer where you have make the "rescue" Win7 disc yourself ?

If it is the OEM, it is very possible that it lead to problem... by example, i have recently install a HP computer, make the rescue disk but it resinstall correctly only on the HP computer... asking Microsoft, they have reply me : "oem version cannot be transfered to a new PC, it lives & dies on the 1st PC it is installed on"...

Uvah you said the disc you used was from a desktop computer. You also said you had a rescue disc. If this was the rescue disc you were talking about you are lucky it works at all. As Thoumsin said any rescue disc (oem) that comes with a new computer is find for that computer only to do re-formats. A rescue disc doesn't know if it's a desktop or laptop only knows which computer it belongs to.

The goverment only gets about .001% of the bad people so good luck finding them.

 I did that and it tells me it can't find any besides I didn't install it yet. One of the drivers I need is for the network adapter. Once I get that and I'm able to get online I can do it all on theToshiba. Right now I'm using the acer.
