I have just updated Avast Free and run a quick Smart Scan for threats.
This was clear except for my router, where I got a message not seen before that the ‘weak Service Password’ needed upgrading, together with a button to do it.
This has me somewhat foxed as both the WiFi and Administration access passwords were upgraded by me after the firmware update put out by the ISP, in response to the ?Mirai? attack on the type of router a few months ago. I have gone into the administration section of the router software and cannot see a ‘Service Password’ reset anywhere.
I am reluctant to have the job done automatically if I am unable to access a system to revert if it causes problems.
My question is: what is Avast going to change and where am I likely to find the appropriate section in the admin to see what the consequences are?
