Hudl is alive

I installed Eset from the Play store, after installing I tried turning off the wifi but each time I turned it off the malware turned it on again so I used my router to block the MAC id of the Hudl. That immediately subdued many of the pop up ads that had been bombarding me but I was still getting lots of install dialogs for 'porn hub', 'sexy girls', etc... popping up repeatedly.

I performed a scan (all the while dismissing more install dialogs). Although Eset failed to kill off the malware it did create a log of all the problems it had identified.

I went into Settings->Apps->All and pressed 'Force Stop' and 'Disable' for all the items Eset had listed and some others that looked like they weren't from Google. That killed off the bombardment of install dialogs.

I then went back to the router and allowed the Hudl back on the network, went to settings and checked the box to allow install of apps from sources other than the play store and then downloaded and installed Kingo Root from download.com.

Not only did Kingo Root successfully root the Hudl but it has a SuperUser feature that allows you to delete apps and services. I went through the log from Eset and used SuperUser to delete all that I could. There were three items that even SuperUser could not uninstall but so far they have remained disabled even after reboots. The Hudl is now running fine and Eset is not reporting any threats.
