No antivirus updates since upgrade to 6.6.1
Since upgrading to OS 6.6.1 from 6.6.0 last weekend, I have not had any antivirus updates. Also, there is nothing in log showing that it's trying to update the AV definitions....

Similar behavior here. Upgraded from 6.6.0 to 6.6.1 on 01/11/17, got antivirus update on 01/12/17, but nothing since then.
After the upgrade I noticed ctscand was no longer running and clamd was running. Presumably Netgear switched antivirus vendors. However clamd stopped running on 01/13/17. Here was the most recent entry in the syslog:
Jan 13 06:15:24 Netgear-RN202 clamd[1247]: SelfCheck: Database status OK.After that, nothing further from clamd. I noticed, however, something called freshclam is running:root 2111 3.8 0.3 10304 6540 ? Ss 06:40 0:12 /usr/bin/freshclam --quietAlso tried rebooting, and disabling, then re-enabling, virus checking from ReadyNAS admin page. clamd still not running, and no antivirus updates.I tried running :
'sudo freshclam' as admin user, and the server appeared to perform an update, though the admin gui did not show the update.
After a server restart, it did show the update on the gui....
From terminal several hours later, I see the following though :
$ sudo service clamav-freshclam status

and status comes back :

sudo? That's superfluous when logged in to SSH as root. sudo is used to run commands as if you were the root user.
Can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?
Hi all
It's working for me on me RN202 but not for my RN102:
- RN202 ist getting daily updates after upgradeing to 6.6.1
- RN102 upgraded to 6.6.1 on 04Jan2017 and AV update recived. Since then no more updates shown in the Web-Interface. But >>freshclam<< is showing the latest AV signatures!?
mdgm: Could you post what we should expect to see with antivirus in 6.6.1? How often it should update definitions, whether freshclam should be running, whether clamd should be running, etc.?
Still no antivirus updates here since 1/12/17. Four days is a long time without updated antivirus definitions. clamd not running. freshclam running, but doesn't seem to be doing much.
Thanks.
Hi all,
I seem to have the update on 6.6.1 but i dont have access to any antivirus app like we had prior to 6.6.1.
I have the V on SYSTEM / overview page but when i click that i go straight to the shares view.
If i click the Antivirus "update info" i only get a box where i can disable the antivirus....
Is it not possible anymore to configure the antivirus, like wich folders, timers and so on?
Regards
Hans
Same here, immediately after applying the 6.6.1 firmware I now have no access/ view of app and settings.
Too early to tell if it is just hidden or actually not running at all.
Really bad regression testing methinkst!
Have you tried ReadyNASOS 6.7.0-T158 (Beta 1) yet?
I'm seeing the same thing. Updated on January 4, no AV updates since then. Running a 314 and have rebooted several times.
No antivirus updates since upgrade to 6.6.1 and with following two error messages:
System: Antivirus scanner found a threat (Win.Worm.Tenga-73) in the file /data/._share/SHARE/.snapshot/b_1485266707_5604/Downloads/Norton Internet
System: Antivirus scanner definition file update failed due to download failure. Check your Internet connection.
No problems with internet access from various other programs

I had a similar update failure message after the 'live update' that was rolled out which fixed the update mechanism... it turns out that my root 4Gb file system (/dev/md0) was in a read-only state.
This was due to the fact that while it was 80% full of data, according to 'df -k' but it needed a balance to sort out the btrfs metadata.
The root volume shouldn't be anywhere near 80% full. You've got a lot on it if it is that full.
I have been running with antivirus disabled since reporting experiencing this problem. Today, I updated to FW version 6.7.1 and want to know if I should keep antiviris disabled or can I enable it and expect this bug to have been fixed?
Thats not quite the experience I had, as once I had upgraded the problem was I had no Virus checker, and the beta-ware did nothing to help. I regressed back to 6I. Today I updated to 7.6.2, and whilst I can see the anti-virus service, and turn it off and on, I cannot see any of the options I used to have wrt configuring Anti-Virus e.g. run now, update the signature or look at logs.
