I have been getting random DNSs from allmost any sites. Have to refresh but sometimes I have to re-try this refresh up to 6-7 times! The wait is too long, and sometimes the pics and/or buttons appear as a square with a red X. I have deleted the offline content files of IE, done Spybot, antivirus (mcafee) and Adaware checks. Your Help and suggestions are appreciated!!!

Here is my HJT log of a moment ago:
