The router of a friend of mine has been hacked, his android phone can't visit webpages with any kind of ads because it gets redirected to another site (this:

).
I got the same virus on my rooted android phone, and my linux mint laptop. (Obviously I didn't think about an hacked router before connecting to his home wifi).
His windows laptop and pc are not infected.
I guess that there is some strange dns-related stuff. On my linux laptop I changed the DNS to opendns and now seems to be working fine. On android with same dns seems still redirecting me. Also on android, I get redirect even when using 3G connection.
Any idea on how to fix this? Also, why Windows is not affected from this virus? edit: Sorry for much delay! I've resetted the router, a tp link with this firmware version: 3.0.1 Build 100901 Rel.23594. Now from my linux laptop I'm not having problems using the default DNS.
But the problem still remains on Android, where i have the redirect also navigating using google DNS, or 3G connection.
