+Try to (temporarily) use Google Public DNS and see if

+"Google Public DNS is a free, global Domain Name System (DNS)
+resolution service,
+that you can use as an alternative to your current DNS provider.
+To try it out: Configure your network settings to use the IP
+addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers. [..] By
+using Google Public DNS you can: Speed up your browsing
+experience. Improve your security. Get the results you expect

+If cleaning "hosts" file (when applicable), changing
+DNS servers to Google Public DNS, or fixing your browser
+configuration have helped, it might be that there's a malware

+to run a number of checks using your preferred
