Possible Firewall Fraud, N300 Extender

I am not a Netgear representative, I provide no guarantee and take no liability for my comments.  This is my opinion on IT security related topics.

The mywifiext site is a private site that exists only on Netgear extenders.  All Netgear support is through netgear.com.  I am familiar with the address being mywifiext.com, not .net, though it may handle both.  If you initiated a remote connection with someone while on a "mywifiext" or similar site, I am afraid it sounds like to me that you have likely been a victim of site spoofing.  I only know about Netgear making hardware products, not software.  If you gave him access to your local computer, there is likely something installed now like a virus, rootkit, remote exploit, etc.  It may be something hidden enough or deep enough that only a disk wipe will remove it, or worst case, there is something loaded in firmware that you cannot remove now.

I did not enter the site, but I cannot find any references to EcoSoft firewall (or EqoSoft) other than a page with that address itself.  This is a big red flag that it is not a valid product and is a scam site.  Also, when someone asks you to pay for anything that is not through a valid storefront.  If you had made payment to this person, PayPal would likely not refund your money because you willfully made the transaction, even if there was a promise for goods or services that were not rendered.  The receiver could claim that they just asked you for money or some such.
