Hi
That was about the time I did my testing.
New information:
On a second PC I did the following:
MalwareBytes has been running and is still running
Try the Synology Assistant, it fails
Open MWB and added the exclusion for one of several NAS
Close MWB
run Synology assistant, it failed
Opened MWB and looked to see that the exclusion was still there
Closed MWB
run Synology assistant, ALL 3 NAS now appear
A few days ago I had repeated tried to get the Synology assistant to detect the NAS, it just wouldn't work.
Today I started trying the Exclusion in MWB and after a few fails it worked on the first PC that I reported and now It works, even without all the exclusions on the 2nd PC.
It doesn't make sense to me given the order of events and the fact that I did not exclude all three NAS on the other PC. Yet, somehow, until I started trying to do things to MWB, I could not get it the Assistant to find the NAS. There is some kind of interaction going on but not one that seems very deterministic.
