Hi All,
First post as couldnt find anything via search on the forum.
I have received a Comodo popup (running Comodo Internet Security Premium on Win7 laptop) saying:
Warning: You have joined an unsecured network. With a prompt to secure any communications or continue unsecured.
My first concern is that I am connected to my own router secured via WPA2-PSK and certainly wasnt trying to join any other networks. [I was however troubleshooting why I cannot see my Router under My Computer > Networks so perhaps inadvertantly did something].
My second concern is that other than an IP address, the prompt offers no option to cancel or leave the network and I can’t then see it active under Networks & Sharing. If I had indeed joined an unsecured network then I’d like to get my laptops ■■■ out of there ASAP.
My final concern and it’s probably unrelated, is that for the last week or so I’m seeing something called RalinkAPS under My Computer > Networks and I have no idea what it is. I used the WPS function on the router whilst (unsuccessfully) trying to set up a connection to my AV Receiver and this RalinkAPS seems to be there since then. I’m concerned I inadvertantly made my router discoverable but it’s more than likely unrelated to this post.
Any ideas on what this unsecured network prompt might be? Should I be concerned? And if so then how do I go about setting Comodo so that I only ever join my own router/network and need to explicitly join other networks on the rare occassions when I’m on the road and want to join another network?
Many Thanks,
Alan
