1) Message boards : News : Coronavirus update from David Baker. Thank you all for your contributions! (Message 99147) Posted 26 Sep 2020 by JohnPetterson Post: To Stop BoincTasks from opening this web page: BoincTasks -> Extra -> Boinc Settings -> Notices : Set "Check for new notices" = 0 which disables the function that opens the web page. Maybe I'm overly paranoid, but if BoincTasks can open a web page, any program can open a web page, download an undesirable program and execute the just downloaded program. This would be such a massive security breach that I must be missing something.
