If this message is coming from World Community Grid then no action is required as it's a known invalid error message. There is no news when this will be resolved. ID: 111997 ·

I assume you are seeing this message in the messages tab or window, which presents an abbreviated message - if you go the the advanced view, then tools/event log you get a new window, and be able to see the whole of the message - there wil be a lot of messages , but the one you are looking for is normally highlighted in red and looks something like: 03/06/2023 16:28:31 \| World Community Grid \| This project seems to have changed its URL. When convenient, remove the project, then add http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ As stated previously this is an invalid message and can be safely ignored. ID: 112001 ·

It is nearly twenty years since SETI@Home stopped using the "classic" way of working and started to use the BOINC environment, so welcome to the brave new world of BOINC..... ID: 112002 ·

Easily checked under the Tools menu. If you see "Synchronize with X", where X is a name, then you're (part) using that account manager. And then you'll have to go to the website of that account manager to remove the project. ID: 112008 ·
