can the router settings be changed by virus? If it is secured by ISP

Hi, Boggin , glad that you are at your desk
Even if you buy new modem, the wan settings do not change, is that correct?
This program touches that access point, because it was the first modem configuration, i suppose, which i very well know that it is configured in that place.
But , why it is not touching the adapter settings ip4, which is to be checked, I forgot to click one box over there. I will do it now.
Should i do the command prompts you describe in your post , like flushdns etc. I will check box with exit down.
So, it becomes clear that the result of the test is depending upon the log in time and log in ip. Is that correct?
Then why the ISPs are allowing infected ips? Could not they cure the infection? please
I have this access point in the overview page of the router please clarify
Boggin:
The /flushdns and /registerdns cmds are optional - it's just something I do and the DNS resolver cache is cleared anyway when the machine is shutdown.
When you shutdown a machine and then reboot you can be given a new IP address, this is normal, but I'm not sure where you are getting the info that an IP address is infected.
Say if your email has been hacked and is being used to send out spam, then you would be identified by your IP address and possibly blacklisted as a spammer.
Changing your email password to something more secure would stop that.
I've just run Netalyzr again so that you can compare your report to mine - use the + signs to expand any section for more info.

Have a run through these tests https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 and this one will check your router's UPnP for vulnerability.

Hi, I clicked that link and it shows no concern. You could not surely know that it is infected ip or not. I visited some spam filtering sites, where i found so much infected ips given in neighbouring ips. I forgot. Once upon, i logged and it would protect me from any spam. I also queried this with shane, This was when i attempt to this link, i was alerted that i am a spammer and to get that link, i have to solve some simple additions. After that i queried about this and Shane has replied that he has a program, which would detect that it is blacklisted in those programs and advised me to start a new log in session , by closing the existing one. The next was without any problem.
If you do not know, which ips are infected with spammers, then how to get that information, except, trying thro netalyzer.
I do not have any email hack. I only open genuine email and panda would block any thing suspicious.

Boggin:
If you still get notified you are a spammer when you visit certain sites, then it would be advisable to change your email password as a matter of course.
Something or someone has been sending out spam from that IP address and unless someone has spoofed your IP address, then your email would be suspect.
