Random "Connecting to the ReadyNas Admin Page" Screens #26273218
Looking for ideas or help on how to solve this issue.
When I am connected to my ReadyNas 516 via a web interface, I get random screens that pop up saying "Connecting to the ReadyNas Admin Page" with a progress bar.
If I wait for the 10 minutes for the progress bar to finish, nothing happens.
If I refresh the web page, the normal admin page will return.
This happens when viewing from a PC, MAC, or an IPAD, computer at random intervals.
Otherwise the NAS appears to work fine.
Should I be worried that the unit is about to fail?
Yes I figured that out. After paying for one year of support, the support agent suggested I turn off anti virus and then load firmware 6.4.1.
Guess what, the latest firmware has a major bug. The virus software causes file access to be extreamly slow.

I didn't get your logs.
There is a known issue with the anti-virus service and 6.4.1. You may wish to try disabling that service and going back to 6.4.1 and seeing if that makes any difference.
