Here is the info (since I can't attach a screenie). Alll I see in inital post is a broken image link. I wrote all this down:
Updated VPS does NOT trigger this alert, so I'm going with bad update for the false positive. BOINC people said I should post here since you run that particular project. Hope this helps others! |

Hi savaka,
----------------------------------------do you have HIPS/Heuristic detection on in Avast? I use same, but not run HPF2 for a while.... settings all at default normal. Will force a few folding jobs to make sure it is false positive, the definition update seems to suggest it being. ciao

Guys, look at the filename again: wcg_hpf2.random
Random data like this will always trigger a heuristic scan purely by coincidence, once in a blue moon. Play safe, delete the file and abort the work unit. But don't suppose it is a real virus. |
