wifi antivirus keeps blocking wierd things

[Ls9L]

so i was just going through my routers settings trying to find upnp and i came across the antivirus and looked at it and my routers antivirus has blocked 400 things in the past day and every single one of them are the exact same thing coming from my pc ( BLOCKED-Classification: MISC Cryptocurrency Monero Mining Activity -1) does anybody know what that means? it blocks it about every 10 minutes on my pc and by the way i dont crypto mine at all i dont even know how to do it but ive heard of it before all i use my pc for is homeschool and gaming.

 

edit- it has an ip with it to and i searched it up on ip location finder and its showing its from moscow russia NTX Technologies S.R.O.

sounds like something downloaded to your comp that is trying to mine and send out the info i would look up what programs can do this and check to see if you have them

What routers antivirus? In my experience, routers don't have antivirus. They can block things and show you a log, is that what you mean?

Looks like you have a mining malware, you most likely got it from that one game you downloaded.

 

First thing first, make sure internet options and firewall are set to default

Search for "internet Options" and make sure each zone is set to default, each zone should have a greyed out "Default Level"

 

 

Now go to firewall settings and click "Restore defaults"

Now, the BEST way to remove any malware/virus is to do a clean windows reinstall

BUT if you can't do that, you can run multiple security scans.

 

Let's starts with AdwCleaner: https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/ <<< download and save to desktop

You will want to have these settings:

Run the scan and reset when it asks you to and reply with the log by copy and paste using the code < > in the forum reply toolbar

 

Now, download Malwarebytes: https://www.malwarebytes.com/premium/

Do a FULL system scan with scan for rootkits enabled (image below)

After the Malwarebytes scan is done, I suggest scanning with Windows Defender and then scan again with AdwCleaner.
