I just read your post that you have no AV. If this is a Windows system, this 
opens up the possibility that you may have become infected with malware that 
redirects your DNS requests. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting AV software as soon as 
possible. 

If you are using OS X, there is a small chance that some malware may be causing 
problems. The fix is to run your OS updates. There is an update that will 
detect a few of the most recent nasties and clean them out. These nasties btw 
can only be installed through user interaction, i.e. someone on the host needs 
to approve the installation of something, say from a web site popup. 

It goes without saying, NEVER, but no NEVER install ANYTHING from a web site 
popup.
