Antivirus stopped updating
The antivirus stopped updating a couple of weeks ago. I tried updating os to 6.9.5 but i stilldo not update.
Tried running host -t txt current.cvd.clamav.net which returned a long string of numbers...
Note that starting with 6.10.x, netgear is dropping antivirus on the RN100 series. See item 19 here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Beta/ReadyNASOS-6-10-0-RC2/m-p/1651396#M10285
I only get to the dowload, then the process seems to hang or get to an infinite loop.

Thank you all for your help. Maybe the best thing to do is to disable the AV on my RN102 and rely om virus scanning on the clients instead.

I recently updated the firmware of my Ready NAS 316 to 6.9.5 9 (was running previous 6.9.4.hot-fix or someting like that). I started getting the following error messages via email alert:
Antivirus scanner definition file update failed due to download failure. Check your Internet connection
This started after I did the update and saw it in the logs via the admin page. I know it was connecting to the internet beause I could check for updates, receive the error message, etc. Following suggestions on this forum I used 'host -t txt current.cvd.clamav.net' to confirm the lookup. I then ran 'freshclam' as root:

I then ran 'freshclam -v' and it reported all files up to date.
