Correct. The AV software is ClamAV. Netgear provided and distributed the version used by ReadyNAS. That version is outdated, and ClamAV no longer provides definitions for it. All ReadyNAS are end-of-life, and Netgear told me that they have no plans to update their ClamAV software. Note you cannot install the package from ClamAV directly.
If i want to update i got the message hostname not solvable.Communication failure check your internet connection, dns- or proxyconfiguration.
While that is the error, the problem is that Netgear shut down their update server. The newest firmware is 6.10.10. That is probably the final firmware. If you are running something older, you can update manually (getting the x86 firmware from kb.netgear.com).
if i reset the Nas to its factory settings haves i lost all the shares ...
Yes, you would need to restore all your data from a backup if you do this.
A reset will NOT fix the two problems you have. There is no fix for them.
Thank you Stephen B, a quick response to all my questions. I think i need to invest in a new Nas.
I have the latest 6.10.10 firmware thats alright but the rest sucks.
I think i need to invest in a new Nas.
Which won't be a ReadyNAS, since Netgear exited that business some years ago.
Personally I'll continue to keep my ReadyNAS in service. But I only use them for storage and do not allow inbound connections to them over the internet.. So the lack of AV and security updates isn't a major concern.
