Hi sbv3000 - thanks for the tip. I have switched to using the image at the end of the "bios reset" bug thread, made sure there were no HDDs in the boot list (and moved the USB-HDD to the top of the HDD priority list in case it mattered), no sign of a UEFI setting, and reboots and now it works fine. Several reboots and shutdown/restart all working fine. The reboot is now much slower than before but that is not a big issue. I also tried the stick in different ports and they worked fine also. So yes it looks like I had the "BIOS reset" bug! Many thanks

Hi all Sorry I am new to this so apologies if this is stupid however... I am using a USB stick with XPEnoboot built from the IMG. Works fine, once I have shut DSM down twice (today I wanted to change some BIOS settings to get WOL to work) using the Disk Station web access and both times when I come to restart the system it says there is no operating system installed on the USB stick. So I re-burn the image onto the USB and away it goes again with everything as it was and all data on the hard disk is absolutely fine. So I am doing something wrong somewhere. I have tried using an ISO image instead burned using Rufus but I don't know what I am doing here and used its defaults but that won't boot at all. DSM 5.2-5644 Update 5 is running standalone and booted from the stick and otherwise is working perfectly. So I am certain I am doing something wrong so can anyone point me in the right direction?

When I said a lot of false positives I meant literally hundreds!

Hi AllGamer - thanks for the thoughts. I will do a one-off scan from my Windows Norton to make sure then leave it alone.

I am just setting up my XPEnology NAS following the course on udemy "Turn an Old PC into a powerful NAS / Media Server"and it is working absolutely fine. I installed the "Antivirus Essentials" package. This gave a lot of false positives so I had to stop it and uninstall it. The Synology forum contains lot of complaints about this on "real" NAS. So I tried to install McAfee which is also listed as I was happy to pay a small amount for it but this asks for a Synology account (which I have) but even trying to login to this from the server gives an error "The system failed to complete the requested operation, there is an unknown error." So I tried to download the DS3615xs version of McAfee from the Synology site to my PC then do a manual install but XPEnology won't allow it to be installed. So the question is what AntiVirus can I use with XPEnology? Should McAfee install work and if so what setting is likely to be stopping it? Thanks for any help or advice.
