Prism Century Link has a spoofer phisher targeting TalkoftheVillages users. Contact whatever your Internet Service provider is as they seem to be the source of this remote virus.
I too am having this problem. I have two Windows 7 machines and have had the problem with Chrome, Firefox and IE. I am a Prism/Centurylink user.

I went to Eisenhower Rec center and logged in using WiFi to TOV no problem. I went home and tried my Android phone attached to Wifi and got in no problem. After reading this thread on my phone I plugged into the router with a cable and I am now on TOV. Prior to reading this thread I spent over an hour on the phone with Prism/Centurylink. The networking folks said there was no internet problem and shuffled me over to the PC folks. They tried to sell me a service to clean" my computer. (I already did system restores on both systems, ran virus checkers and reset my router) I guess I'll call them again tomorrow when have more time. Hopefully they will know more about this problem. The problem is definitely a browser redirect with a phishing scam.
