I uploaded it to an online AV scanner and it passed without any issues, so not sure why it got flagged, but it corrupted all my running tasks. Just FYI as others might find lots of corrupt tasks and that could be the reason. D ID: 102404 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

D Just set Avast to ignore the Boinc folder altogether and you won't have any more false positives, any real virus will try and expand to other files and folders and be flagged so you can stop them. I set it to also ignore my download folder, I never install anything into my download folder, to avoid that problem as well. ID: 102412 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
