BOINC Manager :
../windows/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu removal
(Message 2959)
Posted 5 Feb 2006 by connarch Post: Why is it that everytime I startup my computer the directory ../windows/system32/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu gets created? I know about SETI and BOINC and never installed it on my machine voluntarily so I must assume that it was either installed by accident or maliciously. Problem is I have run SpySweeper, AdAware, various VirusScanners, researched the app in Google for removal instructions, removed all instances of SETIATHOME and BOINC in the registries, deleted the directories and files related to it... I've tried everything yet everytime I re-start my system there's the damn directory even thought there is no shown evidence of any programs, directories, files related to either BOINC or SETIATHOME anywhere on my system. My Windows Explorer is set to show hidden files... I've searched the Microsoft KB and found nothing... I've searched this and the SETI website and found nothing... Anyone know of this occurence, what can be done? Sincerely, Pierre Levesque,AIA connarchATyahoo.com |
