remove webroot and addons-config netshare
I've been trying out some community addons and I didnt use them as much so I removed them.
The removal worked great but for some reason my computers can still see shares that have been created by these addons. They don't show up in frontview, only in windows network. Any ideas how to remove these? These shares are named "webroot" and "addons-config"
Any help appriciated!

- did you reboot ?
if a share exist it will appear in frontview - Yes, I've restarted my unit many times, but the shares are still there in windows network but nothing in frontview. Any other ideas?
- can yiou browse the share and see what's in it ?
- no, im not able to browse them since they are password protected.
- by default webroot and addons-config are not password protected
will see what I can do for you - any progress or ideas?
It struck me that it might be some cache thing on my computer, remembering old shares on the network. So I removed every entry in regedit but it didnt help.
I've tried to log into these shares with all kinds of usernames and passwords but with no progress. I've tried reinstalling a backup firmware but shares are still there. - wow thanks alot!
I just tried it but unfortunatly it didnt work. First I got error message when updating the nv+, then I got a message that the share was removed. However the shares are still there after reboot. - what kind of message ?
what do you mean by still there : on your pc or on the nas ? - btw can you download it again from this site ?
