It thinks a text file is a virus?? (What will happen next?) ...which AV program and version are you using? Rosetta Moderator: Mod.Sense |

It thinks a text file is a virus?? (What will happen next?) I am running "Online Armor" from http://tallemu.com/ While I have only the firewall part of the suite, the program did a scan of my system to see if there were any virus threats and suggested that the following were "perhaps infected by virus" C:Program FilesBOINCprojects www.worldcommunitygrid.orghpf2.sasa_prob_cdf.txt.gz www.worldcommunitygrid.orghpf2.sasa_offsets.txt.gz boinc.bakerlab.org_rosettasasa_prob_cdf.txt.gz boinc.bakerlab.org_rosettasasa_offsets.txt.gz It did not like the underbars But from your reaction I surmise that the files are for real. |

The file names are for real. I suppose it would be possible a virus has infected them, but then the programs wouldn't be running properly. You could compare the contents of your files against the originals on the server just to be positive: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/download/6/sasa_prob_cdf.txt.gz https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/download/2f5/sasa_offsets.txt.gz Rosetta Moderator: Mod.Sense |
