Hi Andy,
I very much doubt the Router will have any anti-virus
software. What it most likely will have is a hardware
firewall.

Hi Andrew.
So that's Norton on my computer and AVG on my wife's
computer. She has the wireless card and my computer is
plugged into the Router. The Router has it's own anti-virus
I believe.
Best wishes.
Andy
