C3700 KRACK Attack
I have a C3700 Wireless Cable Modem/Router which has been infected by KRACK malware. I need a fix to remove the malware. Does such a fix exist to resolve my problem?
Thank you.

KRACK is not malware that infects your hardware. It is a vulnerability that may leave you open to attack.
The C3700 is a cable modem. It is not on the list of vulnerable devices.
Your Internet service provider controls the firmware to install any new defences.
To get rid of any infection, you need to get something that cleans you operating system, not your modem/router.

Thank you. Issue was found to be a false message from Norton Security due to an Android software coding issue. Resolved with Norton Security software upgade. Thank you. - Rob.
