ReadyNAS 102 firewall disabled after firmware update

"Firewall" is not the same as "Antivirus". A firewall controls connections to the NAS (blocking access); AntiVirus looks for infected files. Your repeated use of the wrong term is what created confusion here.
Your screenshot definitely shows that AntiVirus is disabled. So the thread can be closed.
Hi, thanks for the reply. The readycloud is switched on and the internet and services are flagged green.
Hi Jelutho,
Are you referring to the built-in Antivirus service on the ReadyNAS? If you are, that service was removed on the RN100 series since the 6.10.0 update. This is due to the minimum requirement of the current AV is exceeding the physical RAM of those units. You may check this link for more information.
