New Anti-Virus in 6,6.1 - How do we control it?
Dear Netgear, after instaalling the new OS, the Anti-Virus app is gone as you have mentioned in other posts already but my question is , how do we control the anti-virus? Can be helpful if you at...
I also decided to go back and disable (as usual) the Antivirus in my RN104. With previous firmwares everything was soo slow, but now with "firmware 6.6.1 with built-in Antivirus" it achieved a total blocking up of the NAS.
From bad to worse. :mansad:
They should optimized a bit the FW!
For anyone run into the slowness issue after enabling AntiVirus in 6.6.1, here is a work-around before the beta or official firmware with the fix is available:
- Turn on SSH service through the Admin Page and SSH into ReadyNAS
- Remove or comment out the lines starting with OnAccessExcludePath in file /etc/clamav/clamd.conf, save it.
- Restart the clamav by running this command: systemctl restart clamav-daemon
Note that this clamd.conf configuration file will be overwritten again if re-enabling Anti-Virus, so above steps need to be re-done in that case.
The AntiVirus used in 6.6.1 is ClamAV. You can Google on how to configure ClamAV to do scheduled scanning etc.
