I am facing a deep problem now. All my mobiles at my Home, even my Laptop and PC show me annoying ads on random clicks. Whenever I use Google app to see news or hit links in Facebook, I find myself in a seriously disturbing vibration and PC or Laptop websites land me on Facebook or some other shitty website stating I have won something even shitty. Anybody had this problem or facing it right now? Please help me. I installed Malwarebytes on all Phones, PC and Laptop. No malware. But still this fuckin shit.

Put a caching DNS server on your gateway.  Replace the hosts file of the caching DNS server with a host files that inhibits DNS lookups of the ad-serving websites.  Have your DHCP server 'point' to the caching DNS server by default.

 

Problem solved for every device on your network!

 

Good riddance to those who are ruining the Internet with their ads.

Does sound like malware has messed with DNS settings of your router. Change the modem/router admin passwords and have a look at opendns

Gotcha. I've reset my modem a week ago and I forgot to change the DNS from Auto to Google.

what i recommend people do is use openDNS and set your browser homepage to https://www.opendns.com/welcome/

this way you know if your DNS has been messed with.
