Virus Scanner Missing

I just upgraded to firmware 6.10.2 , AND found out the included Anti-virus scanner has been REMOVED for some reason.  I looked in the Knowledge Base and it shows to enable via Settings, but like said... removed from the software.  Here's the worst part.  There's not a replacement in the Apps section. 

Is this coming back?  If so, When...

Is there a way to add Apps (Such as AVG ) to the drive? 

Model: RN102|ReadyNAS 100 Series 2- Bay

Welcome to the Community!

 

The removal of Antivirus from the RN100 Series NAS was when 6.10.0 was released.

 

The RN100 Series cannot maintain the performance requirements needed by ClamAV and in order to get future security updates and enhancements, it has been removed from the RN100 series.

 

Unfortunately, going back to an older firmware like 6.9.5 is not supported and also not advised.

 

There was a post regarding the changes coming to 6.10.0 https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Announcements-Stories/Changes-coming-in-RNOS-6-10-0/td-p/1...
