Virus detection

I run Diversion and Skynet. How would I know/detect a virus in my router? See the following article...
 
Most Asus routers run a security daemon that detects and neutralizes known security threats. Updated signatures are automatically downloaded from Asus`servers.
 
So much for the expensive stuff ... "'Cuttlefish' has been spotted infecting enterprise-grade and small office/home office (SOHO) routers". It seems all routers are the same (even the big enterprise don't seem to have a great security record).

Most Asus routers run a security daemon
But this is only if the user enables Trend Micro, correct @RMerlin ?
 
I didn't know ASUS routers "phoned home". What other data is sent to them and how often?
 
I must of misunderstood how security threats are managed. I assumed if a threat is detected it is sent to ASUS similar to TM.
 
Asus Security Daemon or ASD, it has own signatures file. Unfortunately, the same ASD locked millions of routers some time ago. Asus hacked themselves. :)
