Anti-virus Not updating (6.0.6)

Found it. Runs 10 minutes after boot, and once a week after that.

# cat /lib/systemd/system/avdu.timer
[Unit]
Description=Anti-Virus Definition Update Timer
Requires=ctscand.service

[Timer]
OnBootSec=10m
OnUnitActiveSec=1w
Unit=avdu.service

You should be able to edit that file to be 1d instead of 1w. But firmware updates would overwrite the changes.

Does anyone know what antivirus engine is used ? Is it ClamAV or another one ?

It's CommTouch. A generic provider, many embedded systems use their AV definitions.

It's the same AV that runs on NTGR's STM/UTM product line.

Thanks chirpa. If I'm not wrong, it's OEM, not free. Can we use it on x86 legacy with "legal" use ?

Thanks Chirpa

Going to mood the file and see what happens ...

Thanks Chipra! You need to send Netgear a consulting bill as I have learned and addressed more issues from you than opening a ticket with Netgear.

It's in the OS without protection to stop it from being used on non-OS6 official boxes. So if it comes down to it, the OEM provider may bitch to NTGR for license violations. Same goes for Paragon NTFS driver they include in the OS.

edit: wow, they've turned on profanity filters now haha.

I had offered to do work for them after I left. But I think I've annoyed them more than anything, helping users out on here; being outspoken and defending the community they have abandoned. Brett (PLM for business storage) banned me on the NTGR forums for pointing out beta releases they put on their anonymous FTP site (link in my sig). They sent me a cease and desist letter last year based on bogus claims by one employee... it's sad what they've turned into.
