1) Message boards : Questions and problems : possible malware flaged in wcgrid files (Message 98517) Posted 15 May 2020 by jwr1 Post: Running BOINC 7.16.5 (x64) on Windows 10 Home with Intel i7-2600. Acronis True Image 2020 build 25700 apparently has Active Protection running which blocked process C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\www.worldcommunitygrid.org\wcgrid_opn1_autodock_7.17_windows_x86_64 because several folders were modified with a suspicious pattern. The files were C:\ProgramData\BOINC\slots\5\wcg_checkpoint.dat wcg_ad4-result_sub.xml receptor.CI.map receptor.C.map receptor.Br.map receptor.A.map If that process and files are normal, this may not be a problem. Not knowing, I blocked (blacklisted) this program. Does this seem normal?

2) Message boards : Questions and problems : no autostart on Win 7 (Message 81015) Posted 10 Sep 2017 by jwr1 Post: Just updated to BOINC 7.8.2, and through the last couple of updates BOINC does not start automatically on one PC running Win 7. I think, in the past, I have removed BOINC before installing the newer version. Under System Configuration, Startup: two BOINC clients are checked (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current...) and two are not checked (C:\users\[me]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Win...).
