1) Message boards : BOINC client : ../windows/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu removal? (Message 2967)

Pierre, please be sure to preserve the content of the disk before removing. As others told, you apparently downloaded a Trojan program or virus, or your computer might have been intruded in another way. It is important that we can track down the initiator (program or person) and that we understand the mechanism it infects computers. It would be interesting to know the content of the xml files in your syste32 dir, but that's not all. Can you remember if you installed some new software just before the time it started to happen? (if you know at all when it really started). Maybe contacting an anti-virus company would be wise - telling them that your computer was infected by unidentified Trojan that apparently already infected many other computers (very possibly thousands), they migh be quite interrested in investigating it.

Some of you may watch the S@H message board too: I did not know about this forum before, so posted messages about my modifications and extensions of the BOINC core client there.

There were several threads about previous versions in the past, but the recent build with many new features is accessible here:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=26623

There are these additional features:

  • configurable RPC port
  • network masks / IP blocks in remote_hosts.cfg
  • return_results_immediately
  • configurable CPU affinity
  • configurable process priority
  • automatic credit self-calibration
  • priority projects - backup projects will be started only when there is no work for the priority project(s)
  • automatic deleting of uncompleted overdue WU's
  • alert when computation exceeds max time
  • manual resetting of all long term and short term debts

In case it interests you, there are more details and the source code at http://boinc.truxoft.com
