I had to turn the avast antivirus program off in order to get BOINC 7.0.30 to install on a VIsta machine. I keep getting install program interrupted before it was installed message.

I run macafee on another vista device and BOINC 7.0.30 installed okay.

No problems installing on XP machines with various anti virus programs.

Is avast giving some false-positive message during installation (e.g. 'Threat found, file quarantined')?

If/as only avast (in your experience) prevents the install - report this to avast lab (link to this thread) so they can check what happens?
