How To Stop Netgear Armor Vulnerability Scan on a device

Derek 1983 - I had the same problems last year - see messages #36 and #38.  This worked for me, never looked back.

the security scan from the Armor product running on the MR90 routers triggers thousands of firewall alerts on all of my PC's. It terrifies my family as it is reported as an attack. I've been a network architect and this type of scan is totally inappropriate except on a manual scheduled test. Please explain how to disable this feature. I like the idea of the armor product but will have to discontinue it if I can't disable this feature.
