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).

Hi All,
I have had the same issue, however mine got so bad i decided to a factory reset! that didn't work. I have been really dissappointed with this F/M release. Mt NAS is unusable. Seeing this thread I am trying to down grade to 6.4.0 now. Will let you know how it goes.
I was at the point of wanting to sell the NAS and just use Dropbox.Having been a loyal NAS FAN for Netgear for over a decade I am at the point of trying something new. these lates Software bugs are so frustrating!

The update fixed the issue. Gee thanks Netgear for all the frustration and wasting my time trying to troubleshoot an issue the should never have happened. This is very frustrating and made me question if I will purchase a netgear product in the future.
Once again thinks for wasting my time.
