Checked the FAQ's and it looked like a Chamber of Horror ...
---------------------------------------- I need the newest and stable Boinc Client for my 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate (I presently am using the 64-bit 6.10.18 Boinc Client). Saw this at at the boinc.berkeley.edu website: Windows7 64-bit Boinc 6.10.58 Recommended version Download (8.77 MB) 6 July 2010 Is this recommended here? Thx and Ciao!  |

I don't think it's officially recommended. However, I can tell you I'm using it with no problems.

I put it on two machines (1 32-bit XP & 1 64-bit Win7). I have had no problems with it. The only problem I had is that my virus program detects it as a threat and shuts down the install.
---------------------------------------- I had to unplug from the net, turn off anitvirus and then it installed just fine. I will put it on the other machines eventually.  |

Looks like you need a rest lugging all that tent equipment in that pic.  Using Microsoft Security Essentials and I am surprised how well it works (not using Windows Defender),. I should not have any probs with that. Do I need to re-install or should I just write over my present 6.10.18? BTW, what AV are you using? Just curious because it tried to stop your install.  I have downloaded 6.10.58 and will wait to hear about a fresh install or the 'write over'. Aloha!  Gotta like those Hawaiians. Aloha means both 'Hello' and 'Goodbye'.  |

I use Panda for both virus and firewall. It's not well known in the USA. Have used it for 4 years as it is much less expensive than McAfee when you have to buy a bunch of seat licenses.  The install replaces your current BOINC version whether it is running or not. You do not have to shut down BOINC or reboot. |

Well...it must be a Panda thing because I have installed this version of BOINC on systems with Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, Avast versions 4 and 5, Norton 360, and CA antivirus. None of them had any troubles installing.
