Avast Internet Security Reporting Network Threat

[ozmeister]

Hello - I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction please, be aware that I am not particularly skilled in this area.

I have free AVAST internet security, I run the smart scan daily and the full scan every week (never any issues), also use Malware Bytes (Anti-Malware) which I also run a couple of times a week. Ran full scans last night - no issues here.

The Smart scan on AVAST is however saying that there are Network issues in so much as my Router password is not strong enough, I have never changed this since it was delivered, and never had any issues previously - it still shows as a protected WiFi service on all my mobiles etc.

Internet provider is Talk Talk and Router is a DSL 3780, when I look further into the AVAST remediation advice it is suggesting the username needs to be reset.

Again, I am not too savvy on these things, any sort of step by step advice would be appreciated. WiFi password has not been changed at all !

Thanks in advance.

Free anti virus software is not as good as the highly rated sort
E.g. ESET nod 32
Changing the router "settings" password is good advice for the very careful but most people don't.
