I wanted to double check on the thread to see if there is any answers to our concerns. I posted my reply the other day but so far I haven't received any help from a Mod.

    Avast reported the same problem on my Dell. I had been using Panda but among other fixes I switched to Avast. The Dell is connected to a Mac wirelessly via a Netgear N300 router with firmware v1.0.0.50, which is the last firmware compatible with my Mac OS 10.6. I bought this router about six months ago. I do NOT want to buy another.

     

    Second, I received a phishing email allegedly from ATT on Christmas Eve claiming that they had monitored spam coming from my IP address. I called ATT and they said it was a fake email, that they didn't send that kind of email, and that my account number was listed incorrectly on the email. I made a lot of fixes, scans, changing passwords and so on, but then two days ago the phone line went out. I have two lines and one was out all of yesterday until today. Today it works and I connected. I don't know why. As far as I know the ATT guy hasn't yet come out to fix the phone line, which ATT said had a short in it. I was unable to get a dial tone until about ten minutes ago.

     

    Please let me know as soon as possible whether my router has in fact been hacked, as Avast claims, and whether I will need to buy a new router.

        It didn't work. Did you read what I wrote? I'm on Mac OS 10.6.7. The firmware has to be compatible with that system.
