Hey: my anti-virus is displaying the following:
The Win32/Anserin!HookDLL.Variant!Tr was detected in D:\APPS\WORLDCOMMUNITYGRID\UDTAPI.DLL. Machine: GR_IS_N, User: System. File Status: File is cured and the machine needs to reboot to complete cure. This began today when a new work unit was being downloaded. What is up with this??????????????????????????????????? |

The following quote is from a response Viktors posted in Suggestions/Feedback to user Didactylos:
Which antivirus program are you using? We have seen at least one less often used virus checker falsely tag some portion of World Community Grid files. If you truly have been infected with the virus you mention, you might want to scan your system with a second antivirus product, just to check if the first virus checker missed something. In particular, there may be another file somewhere on your system which contains the original infection. If you run md5sum on the udtapi.dll file, it should show the following value: dd39700773325b2651ed9e878c366a5c If this file is modified or deleted, the agent software restores it to the correct content the next time the agent runs. |

The first thing we need to know is what anti-virus and version you are running.
----------------------------------------The other would be to check the MD5 sum of the suspect file should be: dd39700773325b2651ed9e878c366a5c If the MD5 sum matches, the file is fine and your AV software is flagging it as a false positive.

I suggest that we use ' Error occured: -202' http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=5106 for new posts on this problem.
Time to start consolidating the threads! mycrofth |
