Updating security feature

We have changed a security feature on World Community Grid which will cause about a 5 minute downtime for the BOINC agent. No action is needed but members may see new application versions being downloaded.

Thanks,

Re: Updating security feature

'May' or was it only when you go 'see'? On first work fetch got an mcm version 7.35 downloaded, up from 7.32. Some quirky security software 'may' demand approval or the member will 'see' the application being quarantined, locked out in the fault, in short 'no action is needed' might be a falsehood for some wink

Re: Updating security feature

Just curious, does this maybe address the mcm screensaver issue on linux as well?
