Hello JanHi,
.so file is a compiled library file. It stands for "Shared Object" which is equivalent to Windows' .dll file. So, it could be, I think, a file that contains your logins to add-ons of your NAS which I think you should keep and will not harm your system and files.

Hi mdgm,
Had ReadyNAS Remote active, but it is overdue. Not using it anymore. Other than that, pretty vanilla.

Hi JennC,
Sound very plausible. I think I saw it pop up when the new firmware was installed. But at the same time Windows had an update as well, as did my security package. Therefore the doubt on the file.
We'll leave it and see what happens.
Thanks for the support. Appreciated.
Regards,
Jan.
