can the router settings be changed by virus? If it is secured by ISP
jraju:
Hi, Samson, It seems from Boggins posting, that the config files could not be read easily in note pad. I take it , what you say may mean that you could save the cfg file in your computer as a file and if you want to restore , you could browse to the location from the router page. Is that correct?I will try that
But accessing that page, and mere save would not , try to save the settings as was done by the configurer when he reset my modem and entered fresh entries . That was a query to you in my earlier post.
Hi, boggin,
when i tried to test with the site, the tool ran but no results shown. Probably it would allow only once with the same ip number log in. I will try to day . I want to know, whether the settings of open google settings would show some improvement.
But one more query comes to my mind. Spam filter sites, show infected ips list . I think that i have seen in some site. If a person is logged to a ip infected , without his fault and his actual knowledge of ip he logs, then it may be possible to change the dns settings by virus attackers, though he is well protected, irrespective of whether he changed to secure dns google.
I also read that if it is shown as infected, then i could not log on to secured sites, like tweaking.com. It shows an alert that i am a spammer and alerts some maths calculation to enter in to this site.
when i log off and and log in in new ip, not infected ,this problem does not arise.
Even Panda says, that it expects attacks on router much more than pcs in this year 2016.
I also say that in these days of infected ips, by malicious sites adware and lottery softwares, one would not have enough security unless you change the security level of your firewall to not to allow anything. If you do that , you may not also wish genuine sites.
Hi, boggins your idea on that. My router settings has an option default secured

Hi, Boggins, when the scan is being done by ntlyzer, i get windows firewall blocking message. I do allow for the session. But i am not getting the results after waiting. Should i change anything. I open the page with internet explorer, as firefox does not allow java
jraju:
Direct TCP connections to remote PPTP Control servers (port 1723) succeed, but do not receive the expected content.
The client received an empty response instead of our normal banner. This suggests that a firewall, proxy, or filter initially allowed the connection and then terminated it, either because it did not understand our server's reply or decided to block the service -I have given public access also in java to get the result
Your computer's clock is 6 seconds fast- what to do
Your host, NAT, or firewall acts as a DNS server or proxy. Requests sent to this server are eventually processed by 218.248.233.3*. Nb: i have changed to google dns and yet this alter dns is being accessed Why.
*This is probably a bug in your NAT's firmware, and represents a minor security vulnerability.

Hi, I have seen only now about your cmd commands, boggin. should i do to correct those errors of having accessing 218.248.233.3. Shall i issue these commands.
Boggin:
6 seconds isn't a lot of inaccuracy but check to see if your clock is being corrected by Internet time - set it back up if you have an accurate time source and then keep an eye on it.
218.248.233.3 is the ISP's IP address DNS server and the last digit could go all the way up to .255
The info in your post before last is what I get and is derived because of security settings in the router set up by your ISP - so nothing to worry about.
I don't have an answer as to why Windows Firewall should be blocking the report - I've never had that problem.
