RN42200 Keeps telling me I have trojans in many files,
Sorry, my model number is RN42200, I couldnt find it in the list.
About three days ago I started getting allerts from it telling me I had infected files with a trojan. I deleted the two it tol...
Just went ahead and did a factory reset.
Malwaerbytes ran test on the files and said they werefalse positive and felt something was going on with my nas becasue it wasnt updating do to the router issue.
So did a factory reset and moving on.
Thank you all for your help.
Some of the files that it was saying were infected was the installation file, some were .dll files and , is what I mean is that almost all file s detacted as a trojan were some type of Mailwarebytes file.
Here is one of like 80 or more mesages :
Antivirus scanner found a threat (Win.Trojan.Generic-6629281-0) in the file /data/home/astrodatai9@gmail.c

I recommend staying with DHCP, but reserving an IP address for your NAS in the router. Most routers support that feature.
If you do switch to a static address, make sure you remember to configure at least one DNS server. That's often overlooked.

om/Viper/Viper Desktop/Security/mbar/mbamcore .dll. Please delete the infected file soon.
I think these are almost certainly false positives. A good precaution is to run a different AV package on the Viper PC. Are you seeing any signs of bad behavior on that PC.
ClamAV is the provider of the antivirus software on the NAS, and if you think they are false positives you could report them at https://www.clamav.net/reports/fp There's not much else you can do, other than turn off the AntiVirus service (or remove the files from your NAS).
What error messages are you seeing related to AV updates?
