The end, I hope.
Ok, so this is a weird ending to a weird problem. Just for fun, I tried to go to Google again today. I got a third message this time. This one asked me if I was trying to get to google, told me I had software on my computer keeping me from google and told me to delete anything with the word google from my hosts list.
I did that and I can browse google again.
Thanks for the input from everyone one this board.
