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 used ReadyNAS 212 & the AntiVirus for over a year with NO Threats AT ALL found on my mac.
( I'm not a gamer, I don't download music or such, Only Facebook, Wordprocessing, & Amazon/Ebay)
I sent my MacbookPro in for battery repair. As far as I know they did not format.
All my files was the same. EVEN my bootup with a ReadyNAS shared folder in my user bootup.
I save EVERYTHING to my ReadyNAS. Nothing is saved to my MacBookPro.
(even my iTunes folders is on my ReadyNAS)
.
Now, everyday I get this virus msg:
Antivirus scanner found a threat (Html. Phishing.Auction-213) in the file / ReadyNAS/.timemachine/ ReadyNAS/Joe’s MacBook Pro. sparsebundle/bands/3f77. Please delete the infected file soon.
.
I see for the past 2 yrs this was a problem.. I'm not sure why I'm now getting this isisue SO LATE.
My Mac software is UTD. My Readynas firmware is UTD.
.
Since ReadyNAS built the virus scanner into it's program.. I HAVE NO IDEA how to get to it's settings
to somenow tell it NOT to scan my Mac.
There are instructions to download the Antivirus Plus app.. but there IS NO APP.
