Dozens of emails about new antivirus threats
Has anyone else started getting tons of email alerts in the past day about new virus threats? I haven't added any files to my NAS for months, but I'm getting several dozen about threats in the follow...
As I said above, I'm running the latest firmware 6.10 Hotfix 1 (or something like that). I just checked for a firmware update a few days ago.
I wasn't looking at my NAS control panel when I answered that question. Yes, it was Antivirus Plus at one time, I will have to check the current name when I'm home tonight. Is it actually called 'ClamAV' and would it show up in the apps list? I don't recall seeing this installed.

There is no AntiVirus app anymore. It shouldn't be on your app page, because it was removed several years ago.
There still is an AntiVirus service in system->settings->services, which uses the freeware clamav software. But there are no apps to configure it.
Something installed gcc at some point on your system. It wasn't plex, and it wasn't smbplus (as they are both installed on my NAS, and it doesn't have that folder).
