bombarded with ads and can't make or receive calls

Starting about 24 hrs ago, myNexus 5 is bombarding me with ads. I've never had this issue before. I uninstalled the apps I've installed within the last week (I only do Amazon and Google Play app, no 3rd party). Webroot Premiere hasn't detected any threats, the ad detector plug-in from All-In-One Toolbox isn't showing anything that hasn't been on my phone for ages. Still getting the ads so I downloaded Ad Blocker Plus but that's "waiting for traffic on port 2020" so it's no help. My phone has also lost the ability to make or receive calls, again, starting about 24 hrs ago.

Any ideas?

HI and Welcome to Android Central.

Sounds like some malware has crept on somehow. I would backup your data and perform a factory reset.
