Lots of Virus detection after 6.6.1 Update
Hello, I updated to 6.6.1 today and shortly after that my Virus Scanner detected a bunch of files: The First Message says my Storage is only 30% free, which is correct. The Next Message says it...

Try upgrading to 6.7 at the end of the week and let us know if it fixes it. We launched a hotfix for it to the systems but it requires a reboot after it applies -- that was readynasos 6.6.1+2

First, you disabled the AV and it is still slow?!
I'll agree it is disconcerting running without AV and it was incredibly annoying trying to troubleshoot around my active users. However, at this price point I haven't found anything else that does the job. Not for me anyways - not in the network environment I am embedded in. I have a massive IPS sitting on top of me that I have no control over. I have to work with-in their rules and across several layers of defense. Both ends are designed to treat each other as external networks. It is incredibly annoying but then again I don't have to manage that monster. All I have to do is keep my 2 itty bitty NAS units talking and accessible to the users (and on rare occasions accessible to Netgear admins). I'll take that deal.
I don't have many issues and this is only the second time in years that I've had trouble I couldn't fix in less than an hour. Most people appeared to update with out a problem. Curse our bad luck for being in the minority this time.
