Antivirus scanner found a threat ( Win.Worm.VB-5) in the file /var/cores/core-systemd. Please delete
I do have a ReadyNas Ultra 6 - RNDU6000 NAS. It has been upgraded to firmware 6.10.8.
I am getting following message: "Antivirus scanner found a threat ( Win.Worm.VB-5) in the file /var/cores/core-systemd. Please delete the infected file soon".
Antivirus has been enabled and it is running.
Does anyone know how to access and clean up the file?
Thank you.

There is little chance that a Windows virus infected that Linux system file. It is most likely a false alarm, though you are the first to report it. Since it's a system file, you definitely don't want to delete it. You could do an OS re-install, though I'm not 100% sure that will overwrite that file with a fresh one.

- You could report it to ClamAV here: https://www.clamav.net/reports/fp

/var/cores/core-systemd is a core dump, not a system file. It is safe to delete anything in /var/cores (but don't delete the folder itself).
