I just got the oddest message: I've been running BOINC for years, and a new antivirus program called PC Tools Threatfire for months, but just this morning I got an error that said that "An application has performed an action that is potentially malicious." Risk: High, Name: ROSETTA_BETA_5.98_WINDOWS_INTELX86.EXE, Path: <program files>\BOINC\PROJECTS\BOINC.BAKERLAB.ORG_ROSETTA\ROSETTA_BETA_5.98_WINDOWS_INTELX86.EXE"

What happened? THIS PROGRAM IS LOGGING KEYSTROKES.

I don't know what rosetta tried to do, but what could it possibly be doing that would make the system think it was logging keystrokes? Is it possible someone got malicious code into the beta version?

Why not post it at the Rosetta forums?

We had a lot of problems getting idle detection to work without setting off keylogger alarms. I don't know why Rosetta would be doing that though. The best advice is to ask in the Rosetta forums.
