You can start by
- enabling ssh on system->settings->services in the NAS web ui. Make sure password authentication is enabled.
- enter ssh root@nas-ip-address in the windows search bar (or in terminal on a mac). You'll get a one-time prompt to accept the fingerprint.
- use the NAS admin password when prompted
Then enter freshclam on the command line (with no parameters) and tell us what happens.
