TOT users - anyone else got the vktarget.ru re-direct?

About 10 days ago I started getting both pop-ups and browser re-directions to both vktarget.ru and adultube.info porn sites as well as other random russian sites.

After running various anti malware packages, nothing seemed to be infected on my laptop but the re-directions continued. I then started getting similar occurances on my android phone.

I am using a TP-Link router supplied by TOT and my ISP is also currently TOT.

It would appear that TOT have themselves been infected with some malware and this has in turn updated the DNS server settings on my router, which I am now unable to amend.

Updating the DNS server settings for the network adapter to something sensible e.g. 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 has not been effective, at least for Chrome.

I am currently using firefox and so far have been free of browser hi-jacking attempts for the last hour or so.

I am planning on taking my router to TOT to see if they can fix or upgrade it on Wednesday - I cannot do a firmware reload / upgrade myself as I have lost my TOT login password.

Anyone else having the same problems? it would appear to be localised to just TOT users.
