Hello,

I have got a Netgear wireless router and got a question about the UPnP settings.

I have just been attached with lots of spyware/malware and viruses.

I seem to have managed to delete all of it now which is good.

I have just looking at my routers settings for any more sercuity settings and came across UPnP settings.

Heres a screen shot,

Should all the ports be open ? or is it some kind of virus ?

I just have the 1 computer and xbox 360

Thanks ben
 
What uPnP does is automatically open ports and forward them to your PC as programs on your PC ask for. Not something I'd consider leaving enabled as if something nasty gets on your PC, that can open ports, can download more crap, open more ports and so on until you end up with a uPnP table like yours.
 
Could be legitimate for those ports to be open. The UDP port 3074 is almost certainly being opened and used by the Xbox 360. Don't konw about the others though. Are you running any UPNP aware apps?
