Team—

The qnap and synology issues are a result of the EOL of <0.100. Not as a result 
of the abusive downloaders. Two separate issues.

Our EOL policy that has been in place is “current version with all minor 
patches and one back with all minor patches”. This has been our policy for 
about 8–10 years. Our current version is 0.103.1, which means according to our 
EOL policy, we should allow .103, and .102. Everything below that we should 
block.

It is becoming more and more necessary to enforce these cut off points because 
of many reasons. Load to the mirror network being one. So, .100, and .101 will 
continue to be supported for a bit, but soon, we’re going to have to cut those 
off too.

The vast majority of ClamAV users are on 0.102.4. The outliners are people that 
haven’t upgraded to a latest version should start upgrading to get ahead of the 
curve.

However, many of QNAP devices have obsolete clamav version:
