which synology device?

- according to https://www.synology.com/en-us/releaseNote/AntiVirus, 0.102.3
was published on Feb 23, more than week before measures.

- ClamAV requires over 1GB of RAM, many NASses don't have it.
synology mentions devices with less than 512MB of RAM, but on my machine it
eats 1.5GB

which ClamAV version?
0.100 is needed, which is less than 3 years old, and chance is your version
is older.

overloaded network not unable to provide updates is an issue by itself.
If someone has to be cut, cut abusers (fetching databases via http clients) first and most
problematic clients (<0.100) next.

Which is what happened.
