A Bot On Unsecured Guest Network?

I have been contacted by comcast (my internet provider) several times by email and phone telling me that they suspect I have a "bot". I have run full scans on each computer (Norton and McAfee) and I have also run the Windows malicious software tool on each computer. The results have all been "no infections". The only thing I can think of is that someone has hacked into the guest unsecured network that was automatically set up when I connected this extender. Is there a way to remove it?
