No antivirus updates since upgrade to 6.6.1
Since upgrading to OS 6.6.1 from 6.6.0 last weekend, I have not had any antivirus updates. Also, there is nothing in log showing that it's trying to update the AV definitions....
I have been running with antivirus disabled since reporting experiencing this problem. Today, I updated to FW version 6.7.1 and want to know if I should keep antiviris disabled or can I enable it and expect this bug to have been fixed?
Thats not quite the experience I had, as once I had upgraded the problem was I had no Virus checker, and the beta-ware did nothing to help. I regressed back to 6I. Today I updated to 7.6.2, and whilst I can see the anti-virus service, and turn it off and on, I cannot see any of the options I used to have wrt configuring Anti-Virus e.g. run now, update the signature or look at logs.

Iirc, that used to be in the Anti-Virus Plus app.
NETGEAR said that following on the replacement of the Anti-Virus engine at the beginning of the year, this app was no longer usable as incompatible with the new engine. Don't know if they will release a new version some day.
