Hi, I do not know how to contact anyone of the IT board, so I hope someone of the crew reads the threads here.
I've got a malware information: there have been 2 infected files within Rosetta downloads.

Process:
/Library/Application Support/BOINC Data/projects bonic.bakerlab.org_rosetta/minirosetta_3.73_x86_64-apple-darwin
file:
/Library/Application Support/BOINC Data/slots/4/boinc_minirosetta_4

Process:
/Applications/BOINCManager.app/Contents/Resources/boinc
file:
/Library/Application Support/BOINC Data/slots/4/boinc_mmap_file

Can you give more info? Why do you think they are infected? I.e. what program is saying they are?

Thanks for answer!
I'm running BOINC on a mac, OSX Yosemite, Version 10.10.5 (Late 2014)
with AVAST Mac Security 2016 for virus protection.
AVAST says the infection is "VBS:Malware-gen", user is boinc_master resp. boinc_project.
Since this morning AVAST has taken several files into virus container.

Does that help? AVAST does not give deeper details, sorry.

Regards,

It wouldn't be the first time an anti-virus application thought it saw signs of a virus in the downloads. Unfortunately, the AV vendors often take considerable time to react to reports of such false positives. In general, the simplest solution is to figure out how to whitelist bakerlab.org. If that is not possible, and you are required to run that AV application, you may not be able to run Rosetta successfully.

Rosetta Moderator: Mod.Sense

Seems that AVAST was a little bit nervous, after the actions on the day before yesterday the alarm didn't come up again.
I had not stopped Rosetta, as there have been some tasks in process and others waiting for crunching, which had not initiated any virus alarm, and new tasks downloaded afterwards are obviously accepted by AVAST.

I happily go on crunching, but thanks a lot for trying to help.
