BOINC v5.4.9 might stop with latest Mcafee security software

Post by UBT - Timbo »

Hi all,

Seems there's an issue with the latest version of Mcafee security software, released on 1st August 2006, which causes BOINC v5.4.9 to fail.

see the link here:

BOINC has released a new version, v5.4.11, which resolves this, although it seems to be a problem with the Mcafee software, rather than a BOINC problem...!


regards,

Tim
