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.

        The operating system is not going to affect the firmware that is applied to the the router.  Which Version of the WNR2000 do you have?
