Based on the domain name in your first screenshot, this seems relevant:
The deal is that dnsadvantage.com is being used as at least one of your name servers and ak1s.abmr.net had a failed dns lookup (oops). dnsadvantage provides free DNS lookups in exchange for doing a MITM attack for domains that it cannot find. The page that it serves for these failed lookups is search.dnsadvantage.com and it displays google ads.
Change your DNS servers to something less scammy.

Thanks for the input. I'm really trying to get through this.
I think it may be a combination of my Win8 machine and parental controls I just added on my router.
It feels like maybe my router was hacked, but I can't tell.
I have another laptop at home which I should've tried last night and I will try it tonight and see what happens.

Override the router default DNS that is aquired by DHCP.
Change to Primary: 8.8.8.8 and Secondary 8.8.4.4

Here's the final answer: my lack of knowledge.
A few weeks ago I downloaded a firmware update to my Belkin 300 wireless router.
At that time I noticed a new feature Parental Controls : Web Site Filters.
I turned it on and didn't think too much more about it.
Anyway, last night for quite some time I thought my router had been severely hacked because the DNS option was not editable and DNS servers were set to specific IP addresses. When I looked up those addresses one of them was in Oslo, Norway. What?!
The odd/scary part was that I could not edit the DNS settings. I could not set it to "IP Assigned" since the check box was disabled.
Finally, I remembered the filter setting, turned it off and was able to set the DNS properly.
Whew...
DaveAuld: If you hadn't explained the parts that you did, I wouldn't have understood all that.
Thanks

Love
A teacher asks a student:
"What kind of woman would you like to be with when you're all grown up?"
"A woman like the moon!" Answers the kid.
"That's beautiful," breathes the teacher, "what a choice! Because you'd like her to be beautiful and radiant like the moon?"
"No, I'd like her to appear at night and disappear come morning!"
Death
After Bob died, everyone gathered at his funeral. Then the minister started to speak: "He was a model husband, a decent man, a terrific father.."
The widow then makes a motion for her son to come to her.
"What is it, mother?" he whispers.
"Dear, go check the casket, I think we're at the wrong funeral..."
Hope
Wife: "What are you doing?"
Husband: "Nothing."
Wife: "What do you mean nothing? You've been staring at our marriage certificate for over an hour!"
Husband: "Yea, I'm checking the expiration date."
Neighbors
"The new neighbors are so in love," remarks Susan to her husband, "he hugs her, kisses her and strokes her hair. Why don't you do that?"
"Because I don't know her that well."
Donations
Knock on the door.
"Hello sir, would you like to contribute something to the old folks home?"
"Yes, actually." Beams the old man.
"Inge, put your jacket on and pack a suitcase!"
Shopping
An elderly couple is walking in the city, hand in hand, when they pass a jewellery store.
The wife turns to her husband with a smile:
"Love, would you buy me a chain?"
"Why?" Asks the husband, "Tired of being free?"
Qualities
A woman asks her husband:
"What do you like about me the most? My beautiful face or my sexy body?"
The husband gives her a long, appreciating look.
"Your sense of humor."

Son - Dad, did you know that in some cultures, the husband doesn't know his wife before they are married?
Dad - That's true in all cultures, son!

Maria, a devout Catholic, got married and had 10 children. After her first husband died, she remarried and had 10 more children. A few weeks after her second husband died, Maria also passed away. At Maria's funeral, the priest looked skyward and said, "At last, they're finally together." Her sister sitting in the front row said, "Excuse me, Father, but do you mean she and her first husband, or she and her second husband?" The priest replied, "I mean her legs."

It's OK, he's got plenty of regenerations left. With any luck, he'll be Canadian again, and not Scots.
