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

In my opinion that's a good call. Friday releases always make me a bit nervous.
the anti-virus feature on these NAS devices is a real hastle... even with the update, i am afraid to turn it back on!
Then I will update and let you know how things go.
Of course, if I am understanding you correctly, your machine was still slow even after disabling the AV. If that is true then your situation seems different than mine so and my success or failure might not be a good measure for you. I suppose it is better than nothing.
Are you sure the AV disabled? With mine it would come back on after the next reboot but I eventually got it to stay off.
