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

Thx guys. My mac has died 4 times this month, had 5 IO boards put in. Just got it back today and when I opened Chrome it gave an error saying something was on my system for me to remove it before using Chrome.. SO I reformated. Then deleted my ReadyNAS Timemachine backup.
So, it's all gonna be new.
.
BUT.. on my original comment I wasn't asuming ReadyNAS virus program scanned my Mac.
My thinking ( which I typed poorly in my comment) .. My thinking was the ReadyNAS Timemachine Backup... "Backs Up My Mac"
--- as in.. duplicating the info Mac 2 ReadyNAS. So, it scanned the TimeMachine info that came from my Mac.
( I think I need to stop right there )
.
SO, I have it setup again. Will see if I get a virus warning tomorrow when I get off work.
