[SOLVED] Router and malicious software question!

[Rytron]

Hi,
Here is my question:
If someone has a wireless router and two windows computers access this router; if one of these computers has viruses and spyware on it and the other pc is clean - can the infected pc put visuses / spyware on the wireless router?

there are a handful of virii floating around that will attempt to attack your router with a bunch of default usernames and passwords. As long as you change them from the defaults you should be okay.


On a side note I highly recommend installing dd-wrt not from a security stand point but just because it is better.
