Yes, today in the router under ADVANCE FEATRUES, under Universal Plug and Play, I found 2 check boxes. One was checked that said something about remote access and confugration. I unchecked and will wait to see what happens. I checked the PORT FORWARDING before I did this and again there was one entry from my son's computer even though he said he removed the uTorrent program. I deleted the port and now we'll see if what I did today fixes it. JC

Wow, excellent response and is exactly what I was looking for. I will invesitgate and report back. Thanks! JC

I know the Torrent came from my son's computer. He has since removed it. But for my own piece of mind I need to find out how this is happening. I do use WPA/2 and I do use MAC filtering and a non-boradcast SSID. JC

Hello and thank you for the quick reply. I know MWB can't monitor the router but my router, like everyone elses I bet, is at 192.168.1.1 so if a trojan or virsus tried to talk to that address, I thought MWB could at least flag it. I did change the router's pw and no one but me knows it yet the ports are being set up in the router. And I did APPLY the changes and verified. That is what has me upset. How can the router be modifed without me or my son logging into it? My son doesn't know the pw and I don't think is smart enough to figure out how to hack into the router. JC

While looking at my Verizon Fios router's firewall rules I found out that my son's computer had port forwarding set for some uTorrent program. There were a dozen or more ports forwarded. I deleted them as I don't want any torrent stuff running on my network. A few days later I checked and they were back again. I deleted them again but they came back. I asked my son and he is not going into the router to allow port forwarding. SO my questions are how in the world is my Verizon FIOS router being modified w/o my approval and since Malwarebytes is running on my son's computer, I assume it doesn't catch this activitiy? Joe C
