Hi, Samson.
                  Thanks for the link. I want to know, whether it is common attack for this kind of modem or only my modem.
                     Is there any thing that would get rid of it , by scanning thro computer to which the wifi modem is attached.?

Boggin:
You could try factory resetting it if it has that facility but you would first need to log into it for the details that needed to be input when it was first set up, but I'd contact your ISP for advice.

jraju:
Now, my network is shown as Public, with a bench icon. Can i change to Home , with home icon without affecting the internet access or wifi access

Boggin:
Yes, just click on it and change, but Public is the most secure of all.

However, if you are on a Home group then I believe it needs to be set to Home.

jraju:
Hi, I do not understand a bit. I just selected Home group when i first installed the OS . Thats all. How Public is secured.
              What is meant by Home group. Is it sharing between members having computers more than one at home. How Public is better. How it is assigned home or public? How come my Home changed to Public, when i configure the modem after advice from ISP
