    I actually found the link that Netgear had posted concerning this security problem.  It is a patch to the firmwear. I followed their directions to the letter. After I had uploaded the patch, and done a reboot of the router, I ran another network security scan.  Whala! The patch did its job, and my system is secure.  Thank you for your time,
