Lots of Virus detection after 6.6.1 Update
Hello, I updated to 6.6.1 today and shortly after that my Virus Scanner detected a bunch of files: The First Message says my Storage is only 30% free, which is correct. The Next Message says it...
Try upgrading to 6.7 at the end of the week and let us know if it fixes it. We launched a hotfix for it to the systems but it requires a reboot after it applies -- that was readynasos 6.6.1+2
I've done it immediately, there is obviously something wrong with it.
in my case the following procedure helped:
Deactivating the AntiVirus-service.
Restarting the ReadyNas.
Activating the AV-service again.
Now there are no new warnings about any viruses...?!
Well - at least the machine is running proper again.
Hello ThiloS,
followed your instructions but shortly after the the reactivation of Antivirus, the messages started to come in again:

Hi,
Engineering has identified a cause for the issues reported on the community. The root cause is that ClamAV uses up the /tmp directory space when scanning files transferred over SAMBA. The symptom is especially acute in models that have small RAM and low CPU bandwidth.
A possible fix has been identified and is being tested.
There may be other issues. Engineering is still in the process of investigating.
NETGEAR may release a beta version of the software next week here on the community site.
Thank you for your patience,
Doug
