Several minutes ago received a notice stating that 7.2.28 available. Clicked on download.

Just after starting the download got this message twice....

Boinc 7.2.28 moved or deleted.

On 3rd retry downloaded and installed successfully. Problem my end or server end?

Did not occur with 7.2.29, but after 4th attempt with 7.2.31, it downloaded.

Looks to me like an antivirus program might have quarantined it?

Many AV companies, these days, keep a 'reputation' database and will block a new program until enough users have installed it without problems. If you're trying to download something within hours of its first release to the internet, it's common to get caught up in that 'chicken and egg' cycle and to need to actively approve the file in your AV console.
