Your ReadyNAS system comes with free antivirus software that provides real-time virus scans using signature and heuristic algorithms. The antivirus software helps protect your system from viruses, malware, worms, and Trojans.

The antivirus software scans new files as they are written over the SMB (CIFS) protocol. It does not scan existing files or files transferred over other protocols.

To configure advanced settings, install the Antivirus app. For more information about installing apps, see Install and Manage Apps on page 204.

Enabling the antivirus software is optional.
