Problems with A6210

I recently purchased a AC1200 WiFi USB Adapter Model No. A6210 from Target in Memphis, TN. Shortly after installing this product I ran a scan on my desktop using HitmanPro 3.8.0. The scan indicated that my computer had a Trojan that originated from Netgear A6210. The HitmanPro removed the Trojan, and I uninstalled the A6210 from my PC. After it was uninstalled, I reinstalled the A6210. After the reinstallation I ran another scan with HitmanPro and it again indicated that my PC had a Trojan that originated from the A6210. I again uninstalled the A6210 from my computer. I then ran another scan, just to be safe, and the scan indicated no Trojan. 

 

Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how did you handle it? Should I contact Target to see if I can get a refund, or Netgear to see what they will do? 

 

Thank you for your help.

Re: Problems with A6210

"False positives" on security issues are a regular complaint. Too many security companies wrongly accuse safe software of being naughty.

 

HitmanPro seems to be deliciously sloppy.

You could report this to HitmanPro and to Netgear.

 

If you are a NETGEAR customer with a security-related support concern, you can contact NETGEAR custo...
