After I downloaded some new WU's for my client (6.6.31), Norton 360 determined that Einstein_s5r5_3.05_windows_intelx86.exe was a threat and quarantined/removed it. Norton's SONAR detected it. Anything on this problem? Couldn't find anything doing a search of the board. Thanks!

My PC:
Intel C2Q 9550, running stock 2.83 GHz
Patriot 8GB DDR2 1066 (4 x 2GB)
GigaByte GA-EP45-UD3P
ASUS EAH4850 (512MB)
Windows Vista Ultimate x64

The problem is Norton. Solution: Make exceptions for all boinc-apps and don't search for any *viruses* in the boinc-folders.

I guess I shouldn't post after working all night!! I made exclusions for BOINC, so hopefully all is well. Thank you!
