Not sure if I got a bad job or Sophos Endpoint does not recognize climateprediction.net DLLs, I suspect the latter, but it flagged wah2_se_8.24_windows_intelx86.dll as malware and removed it from my system.

I am using BOINC 7.12.1 on Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit.

Curious if anyone knows if this will prevent me from getting future work units.

If that virus checker keeps removing any of the software from this project, then either no tasks will download, or they won't run.

Most likely a "false positive", but it's long been recommended that virus checkers be excluded from both parts of BOINC, the program folders and the data folders.

Les, thank you for the info. It makes sense. I use my work computer and cannot alter which folders are scanned.

Setting up a virtual linux machine and running BOINC on that should address the issue. Just wanted to check first whether I needed to take that extra step.
