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
