![]() So I don't think that I believe the "infected router" part of the initial report since that went away from simply removing WAN access and nothing else.īy default if I clicked the button after the scan to go to the router and fix the issue, it pulled up my own router's address rather than the ISP's - even though it apparently detected an issue due to the ISP's router being open to WAN management, it sent me to the router of the network my computer sits in. I checked and I hadn't turned off WAN side access on the ISP's Huawei device, and once I did that (for both WAN and ONT access) and re-ran the Avast network scan, it said everything was fine. I didn't really like the dual router but had to leave the ISP configured mostly as it was (as a router) to avoid other issues, and already had my own much nicer router when I moved here. In my case I am running my own router behind the ISP's Huawei HG8245 fiber gateway. I received the same error about my router being open to the Internet and being infected. Since TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, it relies on a server in a passive open state. This sure seems like a false claim to scare folks into buying the Avast SecureDNS feature. TCP is connection-oriented while UDP is connectionless. ? What evidence is Avast using to identify that my router is infected or hacked? (Why is this less important than your admin interface is accessible?)Ĭhecking the DNS on the router which fronts my home network to the cable modem, shows the primary and secondary DNS entries to be what the Cable ISP (Comcast) is using. Scrolling down on the "accessible" notice is an even more concerning claim: "Your router is infected" and "Your router has been hacked and its DNS settings have been modified to serve malicious contents." ? How do I find out what admin interface Avast thinks is accessible? I have two wireless bridges configured behind a wireless router, all with strong security settings, and their admin interfaces are not remote accessible. All my settings were correct, there was a problem with SoulseekQT, not my system and I was sure of it. ![]() (It also says this may be a false positive from port forwarding - and I do have some ports forwarded to another machine, but no admin page is accessible.) Anyway, after deciding to give QT another go, and spending ages trying to get port forwarding to work on it, I was cursing SoulseekQT once again, and upon discovering s comments started cursing too. "Your router is accessible from the Internet" - claiming "we have found that your admin interface can be accessed by anyone on the Internet"
