I got an email today from Netgear to download an firmware upgrade. I reviewed the video provided in the email, it showed that I needed to connect my laptop to the router via ethernet cable to allow the download. I went to google and typed in mywifiext.local and I selected the suggested website (this was my big mistake). Long story short the "support tech" called and said he needed to see why I could not download the update. after a 20 minute call which I didn't feel comfortable with, I told him to get off my computer and I would regroup. He got upset with me and hung up. This confirmed that I had gotten onto a scam website. I just wanted to warn people that this can easily happen. I was way to trusting because I thought I had the correct website.
Any suggestions to be sure I have not jeopardized my network security?
