Antivirus scanner found a threat (Unix.Trojan.Mirai-5607459-1) in the file /bin/busybox
6.6.1 on board and just did a fresh install for a new deployment, new drives. Went ahead and enabled AV, and almost immediately got this warning.

in the file /bin/busybox. Please delete the infected file soon
if automatic delete setting is not enabled.
How in the world is this happening on a fresh install? Very concerned since it's complaining about Mirai. Should I reinstall OS or factory default it again? Could the image in flash be bad? Yikes.

Awesome.
Thanks for all the effort on this everyone. These upgrades were a long time coming I think. I'm glad they're conquering it. It's a shame it didn't go smoother but happily we've got a decent community here to help out those unfortunate ones like us.
