With the PC turned off, there is no access to it by router. With router turned off, again, there is no access to PC. If iPad is turned on at time of attack, and wirelessly connects thru your router, I believe the same message would attack it. Simply turn off both appliances. Next time you turn on the PC, you might want to run a virus/malware scan..I'm not sure this would apply to the iPad tho. My PC stays on 24/7--so does my iPad--I've not been 'attacked' yet, but my 1st inclination would be to disconnect both.
