This just started happening today. I am concerned as my wife went to a site that had been recommended to her via a phone solicitation last night. I am not sure if this is a coincidence or not. When I try to open a new blank tab I get redirected to a website that WOT describes as untrustworthy.

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
