ReadyNAS virus threat
Hello, I have a ReadyNAS 202, today I received an alert message saying that the antivirus scanner has found a threat Heuristic.XZ.DicSizeLimit) in the file /var/backups/md/raid_config_2016_06_30_075001.tar.xz. Please delete the infected file soon.
Where is the antivirus page to delete said file?
Thanks in advance.

AFAIK there is no page to do that.
This sounds like a false positive - the file has been there for 5 years. It's not accessible to users, and isn't an executable, so it's fine to just to leave it be.
