Great catch. I did not know if you shut off on one device all devices shut off. In some sense it make sense. I thought of it as you did at a device level but really it is your account that you are shutting off. Wow.

yes, those 4 pup are on my upstairs pc.
Quess what, they are again on my new win 10 notebook pc as I figured out how to sync my malware again.
So now I get to go thru it all again on multiple pcs, turn off the sync setting, do the scans, clear the malware off at least 3 synced PCs, then resync.
I never thought Google sync could sync malware to all your synced pcs.
AND that means my win 10 home which I can dual boot on the new notebook pc, when I boot that up, will reinfect all my pcs again as it is set to sync. So i have to turn off sync before I boot that home again. This is way more complex than I like things to be.
here is malware bytes instructions link.
it seems pretty bad thing, if your syncing malware, its hard to get rid of it. You have sync on, you scan and clear, then your synced PC syncs the malware back to you and you never get rid of it. It just goes round and round as a source of infection.

Thanks for posting.
At least you know the cause and have a plan. It will go fast.
Good luck.
