McAfee does not work with firmware 4.3.3.0154 build 20170413

Post by mjburns »

Once I upgraded the firmware on my TS-251 to 4.3.3.0154 build 20170413, McAfee stopped working. It can't update its virus definitions (although it can be manually updated), and if you tell it to scan, it just hangs. Anyone else see this behavior? I put in a support ticket, and am considering deprecating to 4.2.5 build 20170413.

My support ticket is #RIG-590-81099. They asked me to send them a log file. I'd suggest that anyone else with this issue open up a support ticket, so that the issue rises in priority for them. It would be interesting to know if this issue is just with McAfee, or whether ClamAV was also broken by this firmware update.

They had remote access to my TS-251 for over a week, and all they could say was that there were "missing files". 4.3.3.0154 build 20170413 was reinstalled but it didn't fix the issue, nor does upgrading the firmware to 4.3.3.0174 build 20170503.

As of May 9, they don't seem to have a solution.

QNAP Support never got back with a fix.

Upgrading the firmware to 4.3.3.0188 build 20170516 also did not fix the issue, but uninstalling the McAfee app after the 4.3.3.0188 build 20170516 upgrade and then reinstalling the McAfee app did result in the app being able to update it's virus definitions as well as run an AV scan.

The uninstall & reinstall did not remove the license info, so that part did not need to be redone.

you would be best to submit a ticket with QNAP regarding your unknown nas and unknown firmware version.

So far my Mcafee v1.3.2 QPKG is working fine under QTS 4.3.4 Build 0387 on my TVS-463
