I have installed BOINC and when I first installed it, it was downloading for two projects I have, rosetta@home and SETI@home. I was unable to get a download for the World Community Grid project but I think that is due to an SSL issue with my proxy. However now when the client is launched I get a message from TrendMicro OfficeScan that a download has been blocked. The details are: URL: http://boinc2.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah/download_fanout/setiathome_7.07_windows_intelx86__opencl_intel_gpu_sah.exe Risk: Dangerous Description: Verified fraud page or threat source Process: C:\Program Files\BOINC\boinc.exe Is there anything I can do to get S@H going or should I just suspend the project on this machine? Edit - I'm using BOINC 7.6.9 (x64) on Windows 8.1 Pro. BOINC is not running as a service. |

This is what we call a false positive. It can easily be avoided by setting your anti virus program up not to scan the BOINC Data directory and the files and sub-directories therein. Do this through the 'exclude directory' option, where available in the program. |
