Do I need an antivirus on ASUSTOR NAS?
(Windows Phone Central)

Best answer: No, you do not need antivirus software installed on your ASUSTOR NAS. So long as you`re careful and have the necessary measures in place to keep everything secured, you should be good to go. Your ASUSTOR NAS doesn`t require antivirus ASUSTOR runs an OS much like a Windows desktop PC. I`ve not run an antivirus on my PC for many years, aside from what`s provided by Microsoft. The same goes for Linux and NAS. I`ve yet to encounter an issue where antivirus software was required on a home server because I`m incredibly careful about what`s stored on it. So long as you won`t visit unknown websites on the enclosure or download attachments from phishing emails, you`ll be absolutely fine. Just because the best ASUSTOR NAS likely won`t be affected by viruses outright without human intervention doesn`t mean you shouldn`t be careful. Ransomware is a major concern with NAS.
