Same with me NetgearGenie v2.3.1.46...NIS 2014 blocked the update install exe file as "suspicious cloud.5. I disabled anti-virus auto-protect was able to install the update, but when I run NG, NIS gives me a "threats detected" message, also NG doesn't run correctly, can't log into router R6300v2 or access ReadyShare USB drive. Guess I'll uninstall the update and reinstall the previous version.
