Don’t install software masquerading as an antivirus saying “that will fix your PC”. Don’t install browser helper objects on Windows. Don’t visit websites that you don’t trust. Don’t use questionable browsers that are riddled with security holes. Just don’t download untrustworthy software from untrustworthy sites. I find they’re a waste of RAM, CPU and time and don’t really offer any protection. I’ve never had a need for an antivirus in 25 years of using computers. An antivirus is just as unnecessary as all other antivirus applications. You really don’t need an antivirus on a NAS. In the screenshot below you can see the integrated Synology DSM solution called “ Security Advisor“.ĭo you really need an antivirus solution for your Synology NAS?

34% CPU usage for a full system scan makes it a “hungry resource application”. In my opinion, the price is too much for an almost pointless product for Synology that consumes a lot of CPU.
Look at that price for “ Antivirus by McAfee“: 19.99 dollars for a 1-year subscription, 34.99 dollars for a 2-year subscription. In the screenshot below you can see the main screen of “ Antivirus Essential“. In the screenshot below you can see the main screen of “ Antivirus by McAfee“. Antivirus by McAfee and Antivirus Essential are somewhat pointless products in my opinion, that is, pointless for Synology NAS.
The third solution is an integrated program called “ Security Advisor” but it scans only for malware, not viruses. Both antivirus apps required 5 minutes to initialize the scan and almost 30 minutes to perform a full scan of just 600mb of files.
Both packages can be downloaded via the Package Center. Both antiviruses have the exact same graphics and options, except that one is free and the other one requires you to pay for it after 30 days. The second solution is called Antivirus Essential and it’s free. The first solution is called Antivirus by McAfee and it has a free 30-day trial, after which you have to pay for it. Synology comes with three antivirus solutions for your NAS.
