Comment (by Gravitas):

 I think I may have some clue as to what's going on. It was my habit to use
 Google's DNS which is 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. This issue has been occurring
 continuously using these DNS settings.

 I switched broadband company a few weeks ago, and as usual I configured
 everything to use Google's DNS. The problem continued. I then tried using
 the www.opendns.com settings which are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220,
 and all of these messages disappeared, and everything is running rock
 solid now.

 I wonder why using Google's DNS settings would result in this behaviour?
