Hello AGSowjet,

Are you referring to the AntiVirus? Please note that there has been an update on AntiVirus. The AntiVirus Plus app will no longer work.

Please see this post: ReadyNAS OS 6: Antivirus Update . Options

I am referring to the Virus Scanner which you can activate either from the main screen, the link next to the red/green antivirus status indicator, or by clicking the virus protection button on the System / Configuration page.

This works correctly (with FireFox) on my RN526 - running OS 6.7.1.

So you might want to try upgrading your firmware and checking it again.

  I am always using the latest firmware. 6.6.1 is the latest version available to my model (RN104) right now, I just checked manually.

    Netgear always does release for manual upgrades first, and then puts them on the "check for update" servers after a delay.
    
    6.7.1 production is available for your RN104, and you can get it here: https://kb.netgear.com/000038557/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Software-Version-6-7-1
    
    Though since this isn't particularly urgent, you could just wait a bit longer and use "check for update".
