99.999... to the infinite% it's a false positive. The science apps come from a secure IBM store. Set exception for the app. Set an exception for the whole BOINC data directory as that area is sandboxed by BOINC itself at that.
BTW, how does a win32:Smadow-E Trj come to even run on OS-X? |

It won't run on OS X, but antivirus programs like Avast and ClamXav still detect Windows-based threats, so the Mac doesn't become a carrier and spread the virus to other vulnerable systems.
