I think the only solution right now is to turn off AntiVirus until some more fixes are released.

Thangs for really fast reply, but I think there will no support for it!

I was having trouble disabling the AV scanner as well. For me there proved to be a small window of opportunity right after the system is rebooted where disabling the AV appears to work. A subsequent reboot shows the AV still disabled.
Disabling the AV has thus far alleviated my troubles with the NAS. I will update ASAP.
It is worth noting that my SSH was also on and would not disable. Attempting to disable it immediately after the reboot resolved the issues for this service as well and I was able to disable it.
