RN104 and RN102 6.10.5 (Hotfix1) Anti-Virus not availebel
Hello, i can not finde Anti-virus under System - Settings - Services, the same on my RN102 with same Firmware. Has netgear anti-virus been cancelled for the models?

Yes. Due to memory limitations, AV is no longer an option on 100 series NAS. That has been the case for a few updates now. With the reports I've seen in the forum of problems with AV updates, I'm not sure that's not a blessing forcing your hand. I've never enabled AV on my NAS. Every computer with write access to it has active AV, so one should never get there, and the lack of configureability of ClamAV (mostly, what happens to files with viruses detected) just makes me consider it not ready for prime time.
