Exactely.....Netgear WTF!!!! TAKE CARE OF THIS NOW
I am happy to report that Netgear has fixed this with the latest update applied to my router. I updated about 5 days ago (regular update push from Netgear, not by manual download method) to version V1.0.9.34_10.2.36 and now Avast does not complain about dnsmasq and nslookup reports "dnsmasq-2.78".
THANK YOU Netgear for taking care of this!!! I am sure you are tackling these issues as quickly as resources allow! Hang in there folks, help is on the way!!!
Cheers,
Brian
