Ready NAS 3220- Antivirus scanner definition file update failed due to download failure
Hi! Please help with updating the antivirus module on our ReadyNAS3220. It is important - for some reason, the firmware update is working, but the anti-virus module update is not. Frimware 6.10.7 ...

Ah, yes, that makes sense (in a senseless situation). If you have somebody who can provide you with the latest definitions, here is how to update them offline: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1280581/how-to-offline-update-clamav-database . I don't know if Netgear's license allows them to provide them or if they will choose to do so if it does.
The world certainly hopes this is a temporary condition.

Hi ARiazanov,
Thanks for the ping, StephenB!
Could you provide us what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
A couple of things that you could do is to:
- Restart the antivirus if possible
- Restart the NAS if possible
- Run freshclam via SSH

This could mean several things:

I can't go to the https://www.clamav.net, also to the https://bugzilla.clamav.net
What is the reason that our network was blocked if I can't even get to the site of antivirus developers))))

This sounds like a problem at your end -- a firewall configuration issue.
- ARiazanovMar 29, 2022Aspirant
I also thought so, but the firewall was checked, in addition, the update of the firmware netgear itself was successful.
The obvious problem is that the ClamAV belongs to Cisco, which disconnected the Russian segment from its services.
p.s. by the way - I am categorically against the war with Ukraine and do not support the Russian government in this matter.
