I'm still waiting to see the picture but I'm starting to think maybe you're OK. The pop-up you may be referring to could be the standard login for your username and password. The warning that your password will be sent unencrypted is not unexpected. It is due to the fact that Netgear routers use http instead of https for logging in.
Anyway, I will wait for the picture before I can say whether this is a false alarm.
