ReadyNAS virus threat

Hello, I have a ReadyNAS 202, today I received an alert message saying that the antivirus scanner has found a  threat  Heuristic.XZ.DicSizeLimit) in the file /var/backups/md/raid_config_2016_06_30_075001.tar.xz. Please delete the infected file soon.

 

Where is the antivirus page to delete said file?

 

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK there is no page to do that.

 

This sounds like a false positive - the file has been there for 5 years.  It's not accessible to users, and isn't an executable, so it's fine to just to leave it be.
