Certainly sounds like you're recieving bad DNS information from 
somewhere or other. The question is where it's coming from.

It could be that your PC is compromosed, your ISP's DNS servers are 
compromised, your local router... hard to say for sure.

It's certainly not something I've ever seen myself...
