Antivirus App in ReadyNAS
Hello everybody, my name is Lawrence an i have a problem with antivirus include on my readynas 104 (firmware 6.4.2), i want to say i have a small network 4 computers (W7 32bits) and DLNA TV Samsung. I create on each computers the same sharing (4 sharing folders of the nas), to make it simple, i use only one computer at the same time (the others are off), the internal antivirus is enabled. i can see in my windows explorer my 4 sharing folders (\\192.168.0.50\pictures ... \\192.168.0.50\video ... \\192.168.0.50\music ... \\192.168.0.50\documents) ... if i try to access one of these sharing (documents for example), it takes too many time to open it and finally i have an error saying me "it's impossible to open the shared folder" (and access the files !) ... i can do it to each sharing, it's same thing !!!
if i disable the internal antivirus, there is no problem, the access to a file in a sharing folder is very quick and i have no problem with the 4 sharing folders. Best of all, i can switch on the 4 computers and the DLNA TV and access at the same time to different files !
What's wrong with the internal antivirus ? Is there a solution for this ?
i can't imagine to use a readynas NETGEAR without any antivirus, the NAS is to protect data and not to submit to virus !!!
Waiting for you help
Best Regard ... Lawrence from FRANCE

Either disable the antivirus service for now, or try the 6.5.0 beta release found at https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Beta-Release/ReadyNASOS-6-5-0-T322-Beta-1/m-p/1059936#U1059936
