There is no need to forward ports 80 and 21 unless you run your own web- and mailserver.

Hi, Thanks Eddy for the reply. I am only a user of internet. Then It is said in the details of the scan to port forward 80 to fix this problem. I did not attach that details as i would be exceeding the limit of pictures to upload

Hi, I am really expecting a reply for this . Moreover, if two or more days gone, my post would not be visible on the first page. Is this not a glitch in avast scan.

Hi, I checked the test in the link you suggested. It is saying that it is not vulnerable in rom 0 test.

Hi, I have uninstalled the old and scanned with the new in the said link. But there is no change in the result. while rom .-0 test reveals not vulnerable  in the link provided by eddy, avast still shows as rom 0 vulnerability. How could two results be there, one positive and one negative. Will avast look in to this?

Hi, Aysn,
            I have posted to the support. I would also like to know, what it scans to produce the vulnerability result.
                         It changes the modem name in consecutive tried tests. one time teracom and other time as media tek.
                          First of all thanks for providing this tool to know that our system might be compromised by some software crooks. I do not know anything about router page, and once i was given the alert, i learned so many things and how to handle my router, modem. I thought , that modem as a technical hardware piece like radio. But no, it is a sensitive hardware. This is after i got the alert from avast. Some more technical team in some other site, has given some clues on configuring firefox and other browsers. That is a little hard work, to understand and configure.
If cfg files could be locked, then this problem would be solved. The modem should be workable, but there must be something to cfg to lock, so that no intruding takes place. If any one wants to chage the settings, let him open with pw and again auto lock. This is the only best way to resolve rom
I want more discussion on this. I once again thank that it include a sensitive item in its scan

as media tek.
Regarding MediaTek, see: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?msg=1289352
Not sure (as the warning is for Android) if this is somehow related to your issue, though.

Hi, Asyn,
                   I am saying that modem is shown as media tek. How it could be two named modem?

Hi, I understand. My son has android phone . Probably, that is why, it gives media tek, when he is around near. Now he has gone to office, So, my modem is shown as teracom.
                      Jive!2%$&+* what is happening here?. My modem is a combined adsl wifi router. When you power on modem, your wifi also connected, if you make wifi enabled in your router page. my son, never activate wifi, once avast shows this rom 0 vulnerability.
                             Is there any solution for this.
