@Bea27  It's unlikely your wifi is actually under attack and is more likely McAfee is misreporting the connection as insecure.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

There hasn't been an actual computer virus for many years, so AV suites have to find other things to complain about so that users keep subscribing....
