I'm very curious how the engines decide that is dangerous file as it not search anything on disk, not send anything to internet (manager does) etc... As far as I know from my practice this happened quite often with BOINC applications...

Those download errors I mentioned above - is it possible that the files are already rejected on a proxy server? In this case there would be hardly a chance to fix it, if the scanner on the proxy doesn't support whitelists. ID: 580 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
