Your router has been compromised and your network connections are being routed through a malicious remote server.

Important:

Before trying to solve this problem, make sure to solve all other router problems detected by Avast. Otherwise the following fix will not be effective.

To configure Huawei wireless router:


  1. From the Wi-Fi Security results screen, select Go to your router settings to open the administration page of your Huawei router.
  2. Enter your router username and password, or contact the party who provided the router (e.g., your ISP).
  3. Go to AdvancedDDNS, if available ▸ ensure that the Select provider option is set to Disabled.
    - or -
    Go to AdvancedDynamic DNS, if available ▸ ensure that the service is Disabled.
  4. Go to BasicWAN Settings ▸ select your PVC or WAN Connection profile (if you see more than one connection profile in the list, check each of them, one by one).
    - or -
    Go to BasicWAN ▸ select your PVC or WAN Connection profile (if you see more than one connection profile in the list, check each of them, one by one).
    - or -
    Go to BasicDHCP.
  5. If your ISP supports automatic configuration:
    • Change IP Address in your router's WAN Settings to Obtain an IP Address Automatically, or change Address type to DHCP.
    • Ensure that all DNS server records are blank, or set to 0.0.0.0, i.e. IP with zero values (this applies also for static DNS records, if available in your router's LAN or DHCP settings when a local DHCP Server is Enabled).
    - otherwise -
    If your ISP doesn't support automatic configuration (e.g. IP Address in your router's WAN Settings is set to Static IP Address, or Address type is set to Static), fill in DNS server fields with IP addresses of reliable DNS servers, such as Google Public DNS, as shown below:
    Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8
    Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4
  6. Confirm your changes by selecting Submit and reboot your router if necessary.

Note:

Due to the wide range of different router types by Huawei, we offer general instructions for frequently used models. For exact instructions please consult documentation for your router model or contact Huawei for further assistance.
