Antivirus scanner found a threat ( Win.Worm.VB-5) in the file /var/cores/core-systemd. Please delete
I do have a ReadyNas Ultra 6 - RNDU6000 NAS. It has been upgraded to firmware 6.10.8. I am getting following message: "Antivirus scanner found a threat ( Win.Worm.VB-5) in the file /var/cores/core-s...
If it's a core dump, then it's unique to your NAS and reporting it will do no good. It also explains why nobody else has reported it. I still think it's a false alarm, but since it's not executable, it will do no harm no matter what. I wouldn't think the NAS would keep core dumps forever, though. Maybe StephenB knows if they are automatically deleted periodically.

I've seen some old ones on my own systems in the past. So I suspect they are not automatically deleted.
razvanp : We can give you step-by-step instructions if you need them. You could also just ignore the false positive.
I would like to at least use ssh and keep an eye on the files in that folder.
Thank you.
