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.
