1) Message boards : Questions and problems : Malware Alert from Avast AV Software on Win 8.1 (Message 62295) Posted 24 May 2015 by NiteStar Post: Thanks. I've posted this info over there. I guess I got freaked out a little bit as I've never received such an error ever since joining SETI@home in 1999 ... and couldn't get past having received the alert to decipher which project was downloading an infected file. :/ Unfortunately, there was no way for me to see the entire path of the file, so I'm not certain what it was. I tried C&P and nothing worked to reveal the full path -- that's something I'll be bringing up with the folks from Avast, separately. Thanks again for your help. I hope the SETI folks can figure out what's going on with their files. :/

The connection was blocked and aborted. Here is the advisory that I received: https://plus.google.com/+PeterCEqualityFrank/posts/DtLHFDLbRMB?pid=6152120900400253026&oid=106600597250549324874
