My Router has a virus. Help!

...What? Routers can get viruses...?

try dr web cureit

It might be an infected computer in your network? Check all of the connected laptops.

That seems odd. Take the router out of the equation and directly hook a computer up to the modem and see what happens then.

Factory reset and all its gone.

Edit: well u did it, then u dont have virus in your router.

Picture of virus.

Have you ever changed router's password? I'm not talking about Wi-fi.

Have you updated the firmware on your router recently? If not update to the latest as this fixes existing vulnerability. I know they patched several security vulnerabilities recently.

this doesnt seem like a router virus but a pc virus, maybe you installed some software in all the computers withing same network (I prefer to not imagine such thing as router virus even exist for now xD)
I already fixed a pc with a virus called "YAC" which there was no way to uninstall, this virus changed browser homepage and settings so it was impossible to browse the internet, it was not detected by a anti-virus but in most cases it can be fixed with a anti-malware
if a anti-malware cant detect and fix the problem you have to do it manually by finding the process that is causing this and get his location on the disk, restart pc and start windows in safe mode and delete the files
if is indeed a router virus you might wanna get serious help in this :s

ps:. this reminds me that you could always just start your computer and safe mode and check if still happens, please prove me that router virus do not exist :D

It's more likely you are in a local network and it simply spread. If somebody would really hijack your router, you wouldn't get a simple scamware virus but more likely a hijack one demanding money.
Just run an antivirus, or if you have free ones, get Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. The free edition can wipe anything (it cannot auto-protect system, that is they paid edition), and it's a good program that works well with any installed antivirus.

You can try custom firmware, DD-Wrt is a good choose, since OpenWRT doenst support your routher model.

I do not think it is in your router,i think it is well hidden on your pc and whoever connects to it,it sends that crap out or is some how tied to the ip so it shows up for anyone using it.

Be careful of even trusted programs from trusted sites as they may not have a virus but sometimes they have bloat that can install stuff like that to help pay for it being free.If they are trusted they should allow you to not install anything but what you want,If they are not trust then they usually install stuff without you knowing.

Maybe you did that as i did it once to try a free version of a program before i decided to buy it and the free one came with bloatware but i forgot to check not to install it and got infected like you did and it also hijacked Firefox and Chrome.

You may think it is not infected but it is,just because you nothing is picked up does not mean nothing is there as it is a cat and mouse game.

Try malwarebytes and see what happens.

You can also download the latest firmware for the router and reinstall it, usually a factory reset just sets it back to how it came from the factory it pretty much just reverts all settings and changes.

Goodluck

try to check this web for all pc.

I can't help with your virus, and for that I am truly sorry. Although I do have a Pixel Puzzle: Japan game key for Steam: 56DDK-XZ9IH-LXBR4 I wish you all the luck with defeating that virus.
