[Malicious object detected: wpad.dat, wpad.domain.name, Trojan.Script.Agent.dc [merged]]

It was indeed a problem with my router. When I tried connecting my laptop to my mobile hotspot I had no issues, but as soon as I reverted to my NETGEAR router the notifications started popping up again. Given that I’ve already tried resetting the router and updating the firmware, but to no avail, I think it is time for me to replace my router.

Thank you for your assistance

Yes I have contacted Kaspersky Technical Support and the response was to follow the steps as outlined by @Danila T. 

The router is a NETGEAR D1500 with firmware version 1.0.0.28 

I will try connecting to a mobile hotspot to check if if the issue will persist. I’ll provide feedback on the outcome as soon as possible.

1. Examine the configuration of the router
2. Or reset it back to defaults to reconfigure from scratch
3. After + patch the software on it”

Hello @Younes,

Thank you for contacting Support, it’s great that you took proactive action👏

• 🅰 Did you send the INC reference number to @Igor Kurzin ? 

1. The router User manual should have information for Configuration procedures; if the User manual is not available, contact the Router manufacture/distributer.
2. Router reset, again, the procedure will be documented in the Router User manual & or, contact the Router manufacture/distributer. A router reset = hard reset, sometimes called a factory reset, reverts the router back to defaults that existed when it shipped from the factory. Only do a hard reset if you have the router pin code or password - normally recorded on a sticker on the router, & or, the paper work that is with the router when it was purchased. 
3. “Patch the software”, means, after a hard reset, make sure the Router software is fully up-to-date,  the procedure will be documented in the Router User manual & or, contact the Router manufacture/distributer.

• 🅱 Did you ask the Kaspersky Technical Support Team what was meant by the instructions they gave you? 

Thank you🙏

I tried factory resetting (hard reset) my router and reconfigured it. I also updated it to the latest firmware but I’m still getting the Trojan.Script.Agent.dc notification

Virus Scan does not find anything. I need a suggestion about what I can do to stop it. Thank a lot

I’m experiencing the exact same problem since the last three days
