either A, you’re going to a LOT of questionable sites (or opening questionable emails) or B, your router could be compromised.

I’ve been a Mac user for many years, and have never once experienced these issues. Virus scanners for the Mac are pointless. There are no viruses for Macs. There are trojans and malware, but all of that requires end user intervention.

I would definately look into the router, but also try to browse safely, disable Flash, and install an adblocker to Safari.
