Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Hi,
Keep getting this Avast popup alert (screenshot: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=233333.0;attach=212339;image).

Ran a few online tests:

All clear, apparently.
Is this an Avast bug?
Regards,

Hello jnkspm,

thanks for the report.

A few questions:

  • how often popup appears ?
  • could you run GUI/Protection/Wifi-Inspector feature to see detailed result what domains are currently detected as DNS hijack ?

Thank you,
David

Hi David,

  • the Avast alert appears at startup on Windows 10 PC desktop directly connected via ethernet to a TP-LINK router, model ARCHER 8 V1
  • the GUI Wifi scanner shows an alert for the D-LINK repeater, model similar to DHP W310

Clicking on the red “device not configured correctly” does nothing.

Pls see screenshots below:
