Good morning. I am not really computer savvy, so may I ask that any response is as simply put as possible. Thank you.
I have an Asus Desktop K5130 Series which is just over 12 months old. This has recently been upgraded to include Windows 10 Home. My internet connection is via a Virgin cable modem and my WiFi is a Netgear Router WNR-2000. I use Kaspersky Total Security 2015. I regularly scan the computer (it is set automatically but I perform scans in between the weekly set up). I also use Malware Bytes to scan.
In the last week I have had two pop up messages (one from Kaspersky) to say that my WiFi may not be safe (I do use a password for this). This is the first time that I have ever had such a message and naturally it is worrying.
As the Netgear Router is now some years old, I was wondering if this could be the reason that I am getting these messages. Can anyone please advise if this is likely, or could it be some other reason - and if so, what, and what do I do about it.
Many thanks.
