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. -saxifrage |

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. |
