Hi and welcome to the forum. :)

McAfee AV was recently split from QTS into a separate QPKG. Have you downloaded and installed that package?

I have just read on the 4.4.1 release notes McAfee and iDrive are no longer compatible with 4.4.1 until the vendors update their products. There are other apps that are also listed as incompatible, but I use these 2. Had I know this, I would not have updated.

Then you'll need to create a help-desk ticket with QNAP and advise them.

Where did you see this? I've checked all the 4.4.1 release notes - there's nothing about McAfee being incompatible. :S

... which is why it's important to read the release notes first. ;)

There is a new version of McAfee for QTS 4.4.1. v3.0.1.

Both my 463 and 473 have the new version installed and it appears to be working correctly.

I finally got McAfee working on 4.4.1 by restarting the NAS, uninstalling McAfee, restart the NAS, and re-installing McAfee. I had restarted the NAS last night as I was having LAN issues and I had gotten a notification the anti-virus could not be started. When I looked, McAfee was not installed and would not update definitions until I performed the steps on the first line above. Check all settings such as schedule, notifications, etc. I had to delete QTS from my gmail account and re-enter the email data as directed by a McAfee pop-up.

One CD , you are correct, McAfee is not listed but iDrive is. However, on installing 4.4.1, McAfee is uncleanly removed from the NAS. I am using hybrid backup and need iDrive. The complete list is:

- Due to compatibility issues, the following applications have been removed from the App Center in QTS 4.4.1: Elephant drive, FileFlex, IDrive, MantisBT, SugarCRM, SuperSync iTunes Media Manager, Xeams, Xopero, and XoperoBackup. QNAP will soon add support for these applications in upcoming releases.

I'll be checking the release notes more carefully in the future !!!

Thanks

Toxic17,

You are right, McAfee needs to be v3.0.1 and that is what is currently on the QTS library.

Thank you

its a pity they couldnt have upgraded the McAfee engine to 6010. but I gut that was hoping for too much. I wonder if ClamAV engine is still 2 years old too.
