  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

@Alfa Kidhello!

 

    Let us know the router model/brand and version of router firmware.
    Try to connect to the Internet via some other Internet connection, for example, via mobile hot spot or without router. Will there be a detection?

Hello,

There exists something called WPAD or Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol, it's designed to pinpoint the location of the necessary configuration file, called the pac-file. Usually such location would look like this: wpad.domain[.]name/wpad.dat. Experienced users will understand that this "location" is actually a DNS suffix.
A lot of routers/modems are preset that DNS suffix.

This isn't new, this has been used for 20 years now.

Using a DNS suffix like that means that it is theoretically possible for a mal-wisher to change the file at its location, and eventually have it loaded into the user's system, thus setting up an unwanted proxy server, and intercept browsing data.

 

Follow these steps:

  1. Try to connect to the Internet via some other Internet connection, for example, via mobile hot spot. Or try to connect without router. Will there be a detection?
  2. If there is no detection after step 1: please reset router to default settings then connect again to the Internet via router.
  3. Also update firmware on the router, if there is a newer version is available on the router manufacturer site. Change password of the router.
  4. If points 2 and 3 do not solve the problem and point 1 fix problem, then this router is not recommended for use. Or contact the support of the router manufacturer.

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.

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

Hello @EdgarEdge81 

 

  1. Let us know the router model/brand and version of router firmware.
  2. Try to connect to the Internet via some other Internet connection, for example, via mobile hot spot. Or try to connect without router. Will there be a detection?
  3. If there is no detection after step 2: please reset router to default settings (via resset button) then connect again to the Internet via router. WIll the issue persist?
  4. If yes, update firmware on the router, if there is a newer version is available on the router manufacturer site.

hi,

same problem here and same router model !

The router is a NETGEAR D1500 ADSL modem and I updated firmware from 1.0.0.21 to the last one released in 2018  1.0.0.28 next to contact Kaspersky support.

Next to the update I made yesterday I got just an other advice when connection was established next to update and yesterday worked fine but today it happen again one time.

Next week I’ll try to use an other modem but I’m almost sure its this router model that cause this problem.

I can confirm that for this router modem firmware update solve the problem but not at 100%.

Sometimes message popup likes 2 / 3 times but not as before the update (around 50 times in a working day!)

@shybear hello!

Hello Anton,

right now I’m 100% sure that problem is Netgear modem router D1500.

Without any change on computer settings I changed it with a refurbished Tp-Link  TD-W8691ND. Even if last firmware is older then Netgear (2017) its 4 days I’m using it without any warning from Antivirus.

Hi @shybear 

Yes, this router (it seems) has settings that are causing this situation.

I did not accessed any malicious website or downloaded any program that wasn’t properly scanned and permited by Kaspersky. I have no idea why this is happening. Just bought 2 years of kaspersky total security and ran every type of scan possible. I’m already going crazy.Event: Access DeniedUser: *censored*User Type: Active UserApplication name: svchost.exeApplication path: C:\Windows\System32Component: Web Anti-VirusDescription Result: BlockedType: Malicious LinkName: http://wpad.domain.name/wpad.datAccuracy: Precise Threat Level: HighObject Type: Web PageObject name: wpad.datObject path.: http://wpad.domain.nameReason: DatabasesDatabase version date: Yesterday, 09/16/2021 06:40:00

Hello @mehdifirefox, 

Welcome!

  1. Please follow all steps in tutorial What to do if Kaspersky detects wpad, by @Danila T. 
  2. Also, read topic: Malicious object detected: wpad.dat, wpad.domain.name, Trojan.Script.Agent.dc, raised by @serval1959. 

Please let us know the outcome?

Thank you🙏

Some of these people are automatically created without opening the site and file this problem
That by changing the solved problem router
Of course i doubt the solution to this

If the malware manipulated the modem why Kaspersky did not
I opened several sites yesterday that Kaspersky had an error

From yesterday so far this is the same problem
my question is
Why is nothing registered in the reports section?
If something is blocked shall be in the reports section
This is a bug

How many years we are screaming, Kaspersky is weak in web  security
Have no progress
