Hi,
I have the free, personal version of Avast installed on a laptop. When I connect it to the ethernet at work, I get "threat blocked" notifications for well reputed websites like Wiley online library and Fortune, for http:routerCSRF-A. I have not checked this with the Wifi connection at work, only with the ethernet.
I reported this to the IT and they told me that in response, they got a new router / switch and replaced the one for our offices. We have a lot of wifi routers, and apparently our ethernet connection is supposed to be extremely secure. When I asked them to upgrade all our routers' firmware, they said we had too many and the routers were different. However, they did change the one that was apparently relevant to me. When I tried wiley again, I got the same threat blocked popup. I scanned the wiley website url using virustotal and it came out clean.
What I want to ask is, the threats that are being blocked, does it mean that Avast is preventing the router from getting infected...or that the router IS already infected?
If it only means that Avast keeps preventing the router from getting infected, then I don't have to worry and bother IT.
The only threads I found were in other languages and did not answer my question.
Regards.
