Antivirus scanner found a threat (Heuristics.Broken.Executable) in the file /var/cores/core-killall
And I see no way of configuring the AV scanner on the admin pages

Hi,
If you have the last FW 6.6.1, and you can't see your antivirus...it's normal..it's an issue or bug. I have also this problem :-( my antivirus is hidden somewhere since the last FW.

AV itself should appear on system->settings->services. There is no app to control the advanced settings though.

Strange!
I now received a mail stating there is not enough space left on the drive , but web admin says there is at least 90 % left ...
Switched scanner off and wait for update .... This does not appear to be reliable at all.....

Others here have seen similar messages. Netgear did push a patch for AV, but I think that was for definition updates, not this. It will eventually be applied to your NAS, but you can apply it now by rebooting.

there is an option in ClamAV to ignore these, traditionally you would go to /etc/default/config/etc/clamav/clamd.conf and /etc/clamav/clamd.conf
and change the line: -DetectBrokenExecutables true
to false.
However, it seems the recent versions of RNOS activly replace these files even when you go in and change them maniually over ssh, probably why the AV+ app was pulled from the little app store because it doesn't work anymore, which is very frustrating, because it picks up a lot of Linux system files from backups I have running...
eg.
System: Antivirus scanner found a threat (Heuristics.Broken.Executable) in the file /data/TranscendUSB/backup2701/usr/lib/libgcj_bc.so.1.0.0. Please delete the infected file soon.
A Way to make the change stick would be really handy. :smileyindifferent:
