can the router settings be changed by virus? If it is secured by ISP
jraju:
Hi, Samson, How did you do that in router. I have done the settings in firewall. Yes of course, but it is really working fine . Only i do not know the firewall settings.
to boggin:
Please explain that part of the answer that you need not do any extra in firewall settings and could do in the router. Of course, the router gives NAT protection and SPI protection, but it does not have any protection on http and ftp protection. These are said to be not enabled in router. But, actually those ports are enabled for http and ftp traffic, so avast finds them as vulnerabilities.
Hi, samson, Now i have 3routers/ one dlink, other two, dataone and terracom all are working without any problem.
The ports open problem is the one avast thinks as vulnerability, is it ?
jraju:
Hi, ssamson, and bboggins, Betaal returns to his tree
Now the vulnerability is back

Under "Firewall Settings" in my router (Netgear) The default setting is to block ALL inbound traffic. I have left this unchanged.
In answer to an earlier Q, ports 21 and 80 are only needed if you are running some kind of server. In my set up they are blocked by the default incoming setting and everything works fine for me.
I don't use Windows 7 (XP guy here :wink:), but I'm sure that if you need to you can block all incoming in the Windows firewall, without having to add ports under advanced settings, a Windows 7 expert (Boggin) can put you straight on that :wink:
The problem in your screenshot appears to be a weak password.
jraju:
Hi, I changed to that admitted password , only alphanumeric.
How could the same av is doing these tricks, even they do not know. They asked me to send the logs, which i did sent to them for analysis.
Still some new head technician again calling for logs, and i asked him to look at his server.
I think , there is glitch in the HNS, by avast. i rely on this av, as it is using reduced cpu for scans. I do not know, if this is correct.
I will try to surf the net further to get rid of this problem.This is with the new router, samson.
Boggins, by this time would have enough of my router/s. Let him take some time so that i try something , getting the error, and he comes to the rescue. Where is shane?
Samson:
J, I use Avast too, but a much older version that does n't include that network tool so I cannot offer any advice there I'm afraid. If it is a new feature it could have teething problems? I would place more reliance on the GRC ShieldsUp report, which looks good to me.
