It's nothing to do with your Wireless router. Most probably your PC or Laptop is infected with virus or trojan horse or worm. Please make sure that you have appropriate protection.

1.Reset the user name and password of your ADSL Router

and restrict the management console access.

2.Reset the wireless authentication code of your ADSL

router.

3.Enable the security policy of your ADSL router

(Register your computer/Device address and reject

strange systems connection attempt)

4.Install standard licensed Antivirus and Spyware

Software in your computer and Mobile Devices.

5.Don’t open any spam mails from your inbox

yahoomail,Gmail,Qtel mail or anyother mail spam box)

6.If you are not familiar with IT subjects, better to

get support from a genuine IT person.

have a legit antivirus with full security installed in your system and not the downloaded pirated ones, try Kaspersky 2010 or NOD32 by Esset. it has anti-hacking, with it you are fully covered.
