1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Minirosetta and Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 (Message 63235) Posted 9 Sep 2009 by Samvega Post: Yes. I have submitted a false positive fix request to Kaspersky, but Rosetta@home really needs to digitally sign their software. No other BOINC project has this problem.
2) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Minirosetta needs to be digitally signed! (Message 63234) Posted 9 Sep 2009 by Samvega Post: I run an internet security suite (kaspersky) that monitors applications running on my computer, like most security suites do. Because Mini Rosetta is not digitally signed, Kaspersky assumes that it must be dangerous, and blocks its function. I do not have this problem with any other BOINC project - just Rosetta@home. Everytime a new version of minirosetta comes out, I have to reassign it's status to "tusted" in Kaspersky. Please digitally sign your software!
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Minirosetta and Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 (Message 55095) Posted 16 Aug 2008 by Samvega Post: I am having a problem with rosetta functioning properly with my anti-virus software, Kaspersky. Kaspersky I.S. contains an application firewall that assigns certain privileges to programs based on whether or not it thinks they are potentially dangerous. It is consistently categorizing minirosetta as "untrusted" and block it from all network use. I can manually unblock it, but every day kaspersky re-categorizes it (I think because BOINC re-downloads it with a new work unit). Is this even a problem? The BOINC client has full network access. Why does kaspersky hate mini rosetta? -James
