In addition to lyonsinc1's answer I'd suggest downloading Combofix or Malwarebyte and running it/them from Safe Mode. The virus may easily have corrupted your AV software such that it's signature is not recognized (yes, some viruses can do that). Remove / de-install all Internet browsers, and if the browser is something other than IE, delete the directory where it was installed (once infected Firefox or Opera or the like may bring the virus back to full force otherwise -- I've seen it happen). Also de-install and delete your AV software. Then scan again using Combofix and/or Malwarebyte, and THEN reinstall everything.

Contact your ISP for support, or Linksys. It sounds like your router or modem are infected. One thing that you could try is the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. Oh, and Spybot S&D, SuperAnti Spyware and AdAware, if you haven't already.
Another alternative is to use a Linux OS that boots from CD. If you still get redirected, then it's pretty certain that the problem is not on your computer.

Could be that those websites rerouted the DNS of all websites to them. Don't know how to delete the local DNS cache files, but you should look into it.

You have an undetected trojan. I can help you for a small fee to find it and eliminate it.
You can run Windows Live One Care to detect most problems and kill them off.
