And I see no way of configuring the AV scanner on the admin pages

Temprary Fix! So i was digging around inside the NAS via SSH, and I cannot find where it is getting the default config file, my guess is that something somewhere deep in frontview or readynasd is replacing it. So I engineerd a bit of a hacky (and dirty) workaround. The problem: /etc/clamav/clamd.conf is getting replaced by something within readynasOS, as such any sibsiquent changes you make to this file is overwritten almost immediatly. changing this file to become immutable (chattr +i) will result in Frontview throwing up an error. However/etc/default/config/etc/clamav/clamd.conf seems to remain untouched. So it is safe to make your changes in here, though they will not be parsed directly by clamd when it is called. The dirty fix:clamd is located under /use/sbin and to sort of fix this problem of the config file being overwritten, i've moved clamd to clamd-bin, and created a shell script in its place to copy over the user preferences every time clamd is called, then execute clamd-bin with the given arguments. so now under /usr/sbin I have 2 files clamd-bin (the actual binary)clamd (the hacky shell script) To do this for yourself, and if you are comfortable mucking around in the guts of your ReadyNAS, simply do the following: - Enable SSH via frontview and log in using the user root and your admin password. the commands are as follows:- Change directory to /usr/sbincd /usr/sbinRename the clamd binarymv clamd clamd-bincreate our standin clamd file (hint, if you prefer nano as opposed to vi/vim you can install it with apt-get install nano) nano clamd- or -vi clamdand paste the following:-#!/bin/sh #overwrite conf with user settings cp /etc/default/config/etc/clamav/clamd.conf /etc/clamav/clamd.conf #run clamd-bin with args /usr/sbin/clamd-bin $1 $2 $3 $4 $5Save and close then mark both files as executablechmod +x clamd clamd-bin Note, I provided the script with probably way more arg variables ($1 $2 etc) than is probably ever used, but to be on the safe side, it does not hurt to have undefined ones. This script will basically aggresivly overwrite the parsed config file anytime clamd is called, it's not ideal, but for now seems the only way to make changes to the defaults in a more persistent manner.

Odd that it would take issue with a core dump.If there is a problem with a file you can manually deal with it. Though that file is not on the data volume.

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.

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.
