Anti-Virus Plus detects but not removes adware/malware
Hello, I have a Readynas RN102 with 6.4.1. firmware. I have Anti-Virus Plus installed. Today it started detecting Adware (W32/Adware.DEZV-3749 or NsCPUMiner32.exe) and Bitcoinminer trojan (W64Adw...
Ha Kodhee,
Thanks. I always keep my antivirus up to date. So that might be the reason no virus is detected (asuming it was a false detection as well).
I did what you suggested and selected / deselected the files of several maps in which the 'infected' files were located. That was an hour ago and I did not get any message. Neither did my scan I scheduled tonight.
So I'll keep my fingers crossed and do a last check tomorrow morning.
We had some false positives on a file so we sent it to the AV people and they released an update today, and now I am not seeing that as a false positive anymore. Perhaps if it was a false reading, it could have been fixed. Try going to the folder where the virus was and select all the files in the folder through Explorer and then de-click and see if you get a virus warning.

Unfortunately, yesterday evening the virus/malware notification started again. This time not only the two mentioned types, but also a third type is detected, a trojan horse: w32/MQRN-8261. It still refers to a info.zip file in several maps. And I still cannot find any files with this name.
It is getting very annoying receiving several hundreds of this messages now ;-(
Anybody any similar experiences?
Thanks,

Did you look inside other zips (or rar files) that are in the share?
