ReadyNAS 424 Virus Updates Fail
I am suddenly unable to get Antivirus updates on my ReadyNAS 424. This has happened before, but my DNS and network information is fine. The warning message generated is as follows:
"Antivirus scanner definition file update failed due to download failure. Check your Internet connection."
Screen capture of Console Home Screen is attached.
