Need ReadyNAS Antivirus App Files (readyavd + antivirus folder)

Hi everyone,

I have a ReadyNAS OS 6.10.x system where the antivirus suddenly stopped working and now shows “Disabled.”

I need the original antivirus backend files:

 

/usr/sbin/readyavd

/apps/antivirus/

/etc/frontview/antivirus/

/etc/frontview/antivirus.conf

 

If anyone has a ReadyNAS with the antivirus app still installed, could you zip these and share them?

Thank you!

    Note you haven't been able to get updated definitions for about a year.  The version of ClamAV distributed by Netgear was deprecated in 2021, and ClamAV stopped providing definition updates for it in September 2025.
