It's more than what I had before - Thank you!!!

I was worried it was something dodgy but since it's been around for at least a year (google search turned up one other boinc thread about this) I figured I was just being paranoid.

Although I did have a virus recently that was masquerading as differnt progs - including the boinc install executable, so there was some basis for it.

Since a lot of people use Zone Alarm, it might be worth calling this to the attention of the developers. I have security set to validate component programs - not the default - so it won't show up very often, but some people are going to hit it.
