A short troubleshooting checklist tied to this thread. describes every typed URL being taken to a Sunsurf page after wiring the modem, router and PC. That behavior can come from a single infected machine, a router/ISP DNS redirect, or a browser/proxy setting. 's idea to isolate the PC is a good starting point; the steps below show how to prove which device is at fault and fix it.

  • Test another device (phone or laptop) on the same network. If it also lands on Sunsurf, the problem is the router or ISP DNS. If only the original PC is affected, the issue is local.
  • From the PC run nslookup example.com and then nslookup example.com 8.8.8.8 to compare resolvers; differences point at DNS hijack (see Google Public DNS for using an alternate resolver).
  • Check browser proxy settings and the system hosts file for unexpected entries.
  • Scan the PC with an up-to-date adware/malware tool (for example, Malwarebytes AdwCleaner) and remove any detections.
  • If the router is implicated, log into its admin page, verify DNS entries, update firmware, back up settings and factory-reset if necessary; then reapply secure admin credentials.

If uncertainty remains, boot a known-clean OS from a USB stick—if browsing is normal there, the PC is the problem; if not, reset the router and contact the ISP.

I would say it is a computer related problem. Possible virus or Spyware of some sort. Try creating a new profile on the computer and see if you can access other websites then.
