Most BOINC virus 'detections' turn out to be false alarms: they are reported by virus checkers using "heuristics" - looking at the program's behaviour, rather than any actual payload. ID: 106692 ·

Yes, I do a scan for virii about once a month and I have had the occasional red flag from parts of the cpdn code. As my box only runs Linux a Windows virus is very unlikely to affect it anyway but a couple of times I have been able to alert people sending me emails that they have a problem. ID: 106693 ·
