thanks for quick support, which i really need..
i dont know it is true or not but i have less knowledge about it,
but i use remote wakeonlan feature always..
is this msg because of this?

No, the usual definition of "wakeonlan" is an option in the BIOS that turns on the computer when message traffic is addressed to its ethernet port; it has nothing to do with the mining software. I already told you what you need to do; the longer you delay doing it the longer someone else is likely using your computer to mine for them.

It's not an error, it means that someone (maybe you, maybe a hacker) opened up a remote port that can now control your miner as it has read and write access. You better shut down the miner and check all your payout addresses on the pool side as I bet they have been changed.

Then look for a way to shut down the remote port in your miner, or else configure it for output only (ie - reporting statistics, rather than receiving commands).
