right, stop right there....need to establish exactly what's happening on all your devices before this goes any further.
Using your home router to connect to the net, list what is happening on all your connected devices...there seems to be not enough accurate info being mixed up. Sit down with all devices at once, and list what's happening, there's still the possibility of a router/DNS hijack that needs to be addressed before hammering device after device..........Gettin' There, Wherever There is......

Ok, this it , on Thursday had a spoof email from NatWest, opened it but did not click on link, stupid yes, straight away did avast scan..found 2 items:
js,agent DHS and win32.RQA(tri)
Did bootscan and when that finished went to bed(not sure I did that scan correct) but had already noticed on xperia z1 phone, google playstore, some of the adds had turned Greek.
Next day son was on main laptop and said the adds were some of them in Greek, turned on old laptop same and sons laptop same, by Saturday his iPhone 5 was the same.
After doing router reset the phones are now ok, but still on main laptop and was on old one( am checking now if still there)
After some of these scans I've done, I now have pages saying "Google Greece".0 -
Still on old laptop(Vista) sons laptop is windows 7.0

hang on, have you changed your settings in google to greek by accident? When on google page, go to settings (bottom-right), search settings (top one on list), languages (second down list on left), make sure english is set, then blue save button. Try that..........Gettin' There, Wherever There is......

or, if that doesn't work, reset your homepage to https://www.google.co.uk on all your browsers........Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
