G+_Jason Perry Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Should I be running antivirus on my Synology box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I don't. But do have it enabled on the mailserver. (hasn't flagged anything yet) It is running linux, and Synology is rather good about patching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_610GARAGE Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I could be way off here, but antivirus mainly protects a system from executing malicious code. So if your Synology box is executing malicious code then you have way more serious problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
