My spyware package keeps identifying zlib1.dll in my BOINC library as spyware. After it's deleted then BOINC cannot communicate with the host. Anyone know what gives?

It's a false positive in your spyware.
Sophos has recently started automatically deleting one of cpdn's temporary data files on the grounds that it contains the pinwheel virus. Which crashes the model.

Frank,

I suggest you go with the two premier (and free) anti-spyware apps, Spybot and AdAware, and sh^tcan the rest. AntiSpyware apps that "find" false positives are nearly as bad as the spyware they claim to clean.

Regards,

Michael
