Let me know if the pop ups continue, and exactly what they say.

Thanks
Joe :)

Is that the only item that was in the Log ?

That was the only thing in the log.  Just got a tab that popped up to this URL:

 

http://www.adcash.co...1&new=1&dx===wD

 

with a popup warning that adobe flash player needs to updated, and a link to update it.  

 

Also, my wife's brand new galaxy S5 is also getting popups warning of infections,  along with her iPad and macbook pro.  Seems like everything on our network is infected with something. Strangely it happened on the S5 while away from home and not connected to our wifi. Not sure what steps to take to clean each device and prevent it from coming back.

ok.  did that.  But prior to that, I did hard reset on the router to factory defaults.  I noticed that the DNS numbers had been changed.  I thought they were suipposed to be automatically set to something, but it looks like that might have been done maliciously.  Now they are all 0's.  I haven't noticed any problems since then.  we'll see.

OK.

 

Let it run for another day, then we need to clean up (remove the tools we used.) I'll remind you if I don't hear from you and give you final instructions and we can close out the thread.

Hello, If no issue remain,


Next

Since your log reports are clean and free of malware, lets clean up after ourselves.


OTL Clean-Up

Right click on the OTLicon.jpg icon on your desktop and choose Run as administrator to open the main window.

Next click on the CleanUpButtonOTL.jpg button.

Once clean up is complete you will be prompted to reboot your computer. Please do so.

This will remove most of the programs we have used including itself.


Next

Double-click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool again.
  • Click on the Uninstall button.
  • Click Yes when asked are you sure you want to uninstall.
  • Both AdwCleaner.exe, its folder and all logs will be removed.
Right click on the JRT Icon and select delete.
If there are any left over tools or logs on your computer please delete them now.


Next

You usually get infected because your security settings are too low.

Here are a number of recommendations that will help tighten them, and which will contribute to making you a less likely victim:
