My AVG 2011 Free has suddenly (a few days ago) started reporting a corrupt file to be malware (adware/spyware) - the file referred to is "WMCG_HCMD2_MAXDO_GRAPHICS_6.15_WINDOWS_INTELX86" which keeps reloading after AVG has quarantined it.
Is it really malware? Anyone else having this problem? |

It's just a false positive.

Hi,
That will probably have been since March 1 when all WCG science applications were updated to v 6.40, accompanied by a new signing key. You may ignore this till all 6.15 versions of tasks are complete or do a project reset. Then the client will download all new 6.40 versions and erase all traces of the old ones. See announcement: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,30943 --//-- |
