can the router settings be changed by virus? If it is secured by ISP
jraju:
Hi, I mean router virus rom 0.
To live with what one has is content.
To aspire for what to have is success.
I also know in a way that avast is pushing you to buy their trial product . I am thinking of telling my son to uninstall avast from his mobile and to get some other protection which is not pushing you something.
Avast of late, is pushing so many things, like grime fighter,vpn etc.
I wish to inform all the readers that once you choose any trial, it will not only give any result on solved matter but would push you to buy their products. If you do that, your wifi access may get total protection, but you could not have any idea , what it is doing in the background or anyside effects.
I had to approach the configurer to break this protection, and to be relieved. Mere reset does not do any good. I also read some threads in the forums about the so called secureline. Please try instead products from pcwintools, which will give you protection with no side effects like no access, or reset errors. Today only i had seen some tools in that site. I think , i will try those

Is the Teracom router supplied by your ISP or did you buy it yourself?
Was the tech guy from your ISP (BSNL?) or from Teracom?
I have never heard of Teracom before. I am not a fan of ISP routers (they tend to lock them down). I prefer to use a reputable third party router, in my case I have always found Netgear to be reliable, well supported and reasonably priced.
Have you tried looking for BSNL/ Teracom forums in India, I cannot think that you are alone in facing this situation and others may have a solution.

hi, samson
I bought thro BSNL my service provider. I do not know about others having this problem. I am surfing the net. i have taken the prsc of the settings, of the modem. Incase anything fails. i have to search for the manual. I was given a cd for configuring. If i try again, that may lead to something , again prompting me to approach service personel.
Is there any wifi scanner, that would scan and fix this virus without affecting the internet access?Thank you for all the tips.
Samson:
You keep calling it a "virus", Avast has flagged it as a vulnerability, NOT a virus. This can only be fixed by a firmware update/ patch.
Can you now access the router's settings via 192.168.1.1 from your earlier post, the tech managed it.
jraju:
Yes . of course. i said that i have taken prscr of my settings. Now, if that vulnerablity is touched, who knows.
