Problem solved, but still have questions...
So I reloaded windows and the bogus DNS servers were still used in my wireless network settings. I changed back to "obtain DNS server address automatically" and my symptoms are gone. But how did these bogus DNS server adddresses survive a complete uninstall/reinstall of windows? The password on my router was not the default password, but is there any risk of my router settings being manipulated?
