Hello new to here I hope I am doing this right, I keep getting redirected I have reinstalled windows formatting the CPU 4 times and that will not rid me of this thing, is it possible to have my router infected? I have Avast free edition and it detects nothing, I also have Malwarebytes and it detects nothing, my son-in-law thinks I have what he called the googleanayictal virus but nothing is detected yes I get redirected. I have 3 CPUs that are doing the same thing 2 wireless connections and this one on a cable.

Prior to doing this you will need to confirm with your ISP as to whether there are any special settings that your router needs to connect
You need reset the router to its default configuration. This can be done by inserting something tiny like a paper clip end or pencil tip into a small hole labeled “reset” located on the back of the router. Press and hold down the small button inside until the lights on the front of the router blink off and then on again (usually about 10 seconds).
Let me know if that cures it, but it may mean that one of the other computers has the infection. In which case run MBAM on all other computers whilst they are disconnected from the router and do not allow them to connect again until the router has been reset
What stopped it was resetting both the router and the wireless access point, I finished updating and have not been redirected since, avast has stopped a few threats I am happy, again thank you.
