Folks, Has anyone run across a spyware app. tripping over the BOINC tasks? I have MaxSecure and their product flags most stuff in the BOINC folder as a ROOTKIT threat. See example: Threat Type Threat FILE K:\BOINC\SLOTS\2\odday0a.U} or K:\BOINC\SLOTS\2\<insert weird type font here> This started when they integrated a major engine upgrade and they are aware of this issue. Any assistance, or insight, anyone has in this area would be greatly appreciated. Bill |

You better report this at the project(s) whose files are being flagged as spyware. It's not really a BOINC issue. |

Contact MaxSecure to report the false positives, sending them the files so they can fix their engine/database. (NOTE: you probably shouldn't send the files without first agreeing with them to do so. Sending attachments on your first message would very probably get it deleted unread.) |
