I have not 'Reset my router to factory defaults', can you explain how malware can install itself on the router? I have more than one computer on the network, all seem to be affected. Thank so much for your time!

Very simple, your router has factory password, that is widely available, and malware can access your router easily. Reset your router and then change its password.

When I installed the router I changed the factory default password immediately and used a wifi password, so I was never using defaults. Will resetting router to default, creating 'new' admin loggin and wifi passwords fix the popups? None of the above listed programs are finding any malware, etc. Can you look at my uploaded logs?

Looks Okey dokey now ;)! So I take it my router was hacked? Where are they storing scripts or is it remotely ran? Still confused as to how this is possible, with never using a default router pass or having an open wifi?

Thank you so much, donation coming your way after payday :cool:
