Latest AntiVirus signature update corrupt?
Good afternoon, I have a customer that has a 516 and this morning, I started getting tons of emails (over 400+) in just a few short hours regarding virus's being found on the NAS. Ironically this...
Hello,
I just wanted to chime in and say I had this issue on a ReadyNAS 104 running 6.2.5 today. Several server backups had failed all with the same reason, the XML file was corrupt. I tried re-running the backups and had the same result. I couldn't even log into the NAS web console, so I rebooted it and then the alert popped up that the antivirus had disovered js/injector.A in those XML files. So, it maybe sounds like a false positive on the antivirus? I will be upgrading the firmware today and maybe that will help. I am also deleting and running new backups, because SOMETHING happened to those XML files...
Just another update...
I had problems accessing the NAS this AM via IP address, ie- 192.168.100.100. I tried to log in and disable the antivirus software and it would not let me. I rebooted as a last effort. It slowly but surely came back online. At this point I could disable the antivirus scanning and haven't had a problem since.
Is antivius scanning the culprit again?
Looking forward to a Netgear response.
Regards,
Nick
