I will try to write down what to do :-)
1) enable SSH on your NAS (can be done via the gui: system-tab and option setting)
2) on your PC install WINSCP
3) FILE-PROTOCOL: SCP ; HOST NAME: IP-address of your NAS ; PORT NUMBER: 22 ; USER NAME: ROOT ;
(your ROOT-password is the same as your ADMIN-password) ; click LOGIN4) similar to EXPLORER go to directory: /var/lib/clamav/
5) right-click the members (antivir;bytecode;daily;main;mirrors) and choose DOWNLOAD AND DELETE
put/save them somewhere on your PC6) change or go to directory: /etc/clamav/
7) right-click on member freshclam.conf and choose EDIT
8) click after "ReceiveTimeout 120" and hit ENTER
copy/past "TestDatabases false"
member should look like below:DatabaseOwner root
LogSyslog true
LogFacility LOG_LOCAL6
Debug false
MaxAttempts 5
DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav
DNSDatabaseInfo current.cvd.clamav.net
ConnectTimeout 120
ReceiveTimeout 120
TestDatabases false
ScriptedUpdates true
CompressLocalDatabase false
Bytecode true
NotifyClamd /etc/clamav/clamd.conf
OnErrorExecute /usr/bin/clamav_event -s 1
OnUpdateExecute /usr/bin/clamav_event -s 0
Checks 2
DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net
DatabaseMirror db.cn.clamav.net
DatabaseMirror db.tw.clamav.net9) close window in which your are editing freshclam.conf (save it of course)
10) restart your NASHopes this will solve your issue

/var/lib/clamav/**
and
2) adding "TestDatabases false" to your /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf
And did you check in the logs (system.log-file & systemd-journal.log-file) whether your upgrade to '6.10.5 hotfix' went OK?
- i have not done 1 & 2 you mentioned. i am not familiar on how to perform these.
but yes 6.10.5 hotfix did go well i have been doing all routine functions as normal . atleast i did not notice any issues.

You could alternatively contact paid netgear support via my.netgear.com.
One question is whether you actually need AV on the NAS. If the PCs that upload files have their own AV software, then you might not need it. If that's the case, you could just disable it.
