Antivirus is not updating (ReadyNAS OS 6.9.4)
I've just installed my new ReadyNAS 214.
First thing I did was to update the OS to version 6.9.4, so I can tell I am connected to the internet.
The antivirus, being enabled or disabled, is al...

Hi jereaa,
Can you download the logs and the send it to me? You can upload that to a file sharing site and then PM me the download link.

Hi jereaa,
Can you also enable the Secure Diagnostic Mode on the NAS? We will check if the NAS can really reach the Internet. You can enable that by going System > Settings > Support then PM me the 5-digit number. We will check if we can see that port.

Hi jereaa,
ClamAV has an automatic way to update, which is called FreshClam. One of our L3's ran it on debug mode. It can talk to the server but when it gets to 99%, it just stops receiving the data.
It was also found that we have an old version of ClamAV on the NAS. L3 tried updating it but seems like something is killing the connection at the very last second.
We would like to gather information about your network. I have listed below the information that we needed:
1. Name of ISP
2. Brand and model of the firewall router
3. What devices are connected in between the NAS and the firewall?

Hi JohnCM_S,
We have RN31400-100EUS with 4x2TB disks 12% full XRAID upgraded to 6.9.4 now since October 16 saying the same error. Looking in system.log ClamAV version 0.99.3 error recommending 0.100.2 and all daily .cdiff 100% successful but the buildcld can't add the daily.hdb to the new daily.cld and hence fails to update. looked at /dev/md0 and of the 4GB its got <300MB left but that isn't the error - looks like with some offline testing its the included ClamAV version 0.99.3 thats the problem as the new signatures are not backwards compatible to before version 0.100.2
So can this be a fix in 6.9.5 sharpish??

Ah after much testing the signatures are fine with v0.99.3 of ClamAV.
The problem turned out to be the signature files had become enormous and then corrupt in /var/lib/clamav so with a quick name change to .bck on mirrors.dat, main.cvd and daily.cvd then running freshclam -v all is good again and we have 100% AV working without issue, so have deleted the three old .bck files and all is fine...
Cheers and regards, Andrew.

Thanks for sharing this! Ran into something very similar on RN516 with 6.9.5 today. Only my 3 files were called *.cld instead of *.cvd.
Another issues seemed to be the outdated version of ClamAV: "WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!"?
After running below procedure as you desribed with "freshclam -v", the antivirus was updated again. Not sure if "bytecode.cld" should also be replaced? This is the only file that doesn't have the date updated to March 23rd.
