You don't pay to get viruses, why should you pay to remove them?
Avast, panda or essentials or do the job they're intended for. You could always get rid of windoze and go linux but that has been covered on another thread about microshaft

What Asus router have you got ? Considering going down this route as the Homehub 5 is somewhat short of configuration options. Preferably something that can be flashed with ddwrt if the stock rom isn't configrable enough.

I have a model that is a few years old now. http://uk.pcmag.com/review/92819/asus-rt-ac86u-ac2900-router covers one of the newer models, plus competitors.

In some respects....it is. It depends whether you think surfing 'porndoctor' is politicaly correct or not....

Now I've got some feeling back in my hands I can confirm it certainly isn't.

Oh, I see what you've done there. That's so funny. Just like Palarse and Manure.
