    Welcome to the Community!

     

    The removal of Antivirus from the RN100 Series NAS was when 6.10.0 was released.

     

    The RN100 Series cannot maintain the performance requirements needed by ClamAV and in order to get future security updates and enhancements, it has been removed from the RN100 series.

     

    Unfortunately, going back to an older firmware like 6.9.5 is not supported and also not advised.

     

    There was a post regarding the changes coming to 6.10.0 https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Announcements-Stories/Changes-coming-in-RNOS-6-10-0/td-p/1701260
