Got a new router and it is detecting a phone named mantis. I do not know if it is related to the mantis malaware. I turned off all the phones in the network and it is still showing up. If it is how do I know which devices are infected and how do I remove it.

    I don’t know much about the Mantis malware, but it does seem probable that it’s related or another form of malware.

    You might be able to get into your router admin panel to view what connection the"mantis" device is connecting through to narrow things down. If it’s on Wi-Fi or not, for example.

    Maybe shut down your current desktop and use a less frequently used machine to do the checks. No offense, but if you have custom skins in Windows, you probably don’t have many hesitations over using miscellaneous applications from the web, and some malware may have come along with one of them.

    Once resolved, you’ll want to update passwords.
