To get the fix for the anti-virus issue you can update to ReadyNASOS 6.5.0-T338 (Beta 2) (or later). Alternatively if you prefer you can stay on 6.4.2 for now and install the hot-fix (which is now available).

I can also confirm other reports of slow transfer speeds even with AntiVirus disabled. Using Goodsync, I previously saw nearly 100MB/s transfer rates on backups (using jumbo frames) on prior firmware versions. After upgrading the firmware to OS 6.4.1, I get averages between 15 MB/s and 40 MB/s.
My ReadyNAS 102 has also slowed down so much it is not really usable. I will see if disabling the AV helps, as other posts suggest, and failing that, I will revert to 6.4.0.
