Hacked Vu launching malware attacks?

The ISP was unable to give me the mac address or local IP from where these were coming from.

Your ISP will never see either of these.
The MAC address never leaves a network segment, and the IP won't be seen beyond the router as you'll be using NAT.

I'm with Vodafone.. I done a firmware upgrade on the router which reset the defaults after it reported corruption. I opened the bare minimum of ports needed for the security system, I have noticed that something is opening random ports and pointing them at the PC although these are different to the ones reported from the ISP.

The ISP was unable to give me the mac address or local IP from where these were coming from.

However since the router upgrade, no attacks have been reported. I have changed the default password for both router and WiFi.

Looking like the router may have been the problem (fingers crossed it sorted now)

The Vodafone routers used to come with uPnP enabled by default. Ensure that this is turned off. Malware on any device on your LAN can use uPnP in your router to open ports. If you MUST have ports open on your router ensure you do it manually and don't let software do it through uPnP.

Thanks everyone for your input, Just to give you all an update, I done a firmware update and hard reset of the router, I haven't heard anything back from the ISP so it appears to be resolved.

I've had similar too, sounds genuine to me.

Rebooted everything on network, whatever it was , was held in ram. Ram is cleared after reboot.
