Based only on a single job, looks to me like this version won't run on Win98. | |

6.05 WU's are being flagged and removed by Norton Internet Security...I just checked and noticed at least 4 instances of this...They are listed in my results as "compute error"...I have sent a report to Norton and hopefully they will investigate and find this is not malware. | |

I wonder what it is that sets off the malware triggers for Norton? This is the simplest BOINC app there is, and doesn't even have graphics. Though perhaps there is still code in the simplest app to detect keyboard activity, and that is being seen as spy-ware. For the record, this version of hello was built on a newer computer (named frodo) which runs Windows XP, and compiled with MSVC++2008. This is to replace the older Windows 2000 machine with MSVC++2003 (named bilbo) that I've used in the past to build the Windows apps. The newer machine also has Symantec Antivirus installed with a recent signatures file (via Live Updates). I also installed Malwarebytes and scanned the machine and found nothing. ____________ -- Eric Myers "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." -- William Butler Yeats | |

Win98 client manager shows "Can't load library cudart.dll" but all still works ok and BOINC alpha or seti tasks, for example, will run without error.

I ran the validator and assimilator for cube overnight to catch them. When I switch them over to 'hello' those will be processed and credit awarded. ____________ -- Eric Myers "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." -- William Butler Yeats | |

Stan Pleban wrote: just a question??? what does it mean when it says "Memory Leaks detected" ??? There are places in the application where memory is allocated, and ideally that memory is freed up when it's no longer needed. If that's not the case, it's possible for the app to keep allocating memory over and over again, until it uses up a substantial amount of available memory. Until recently the Firefox browser was pretty bad about this. I turned on a diagnotic check in the app to check for memory that had not been given back at the time the app ended. This shows that there was some, but it also shows that there wasn't very much. It's not a cause for concern, but it is something the BOINC developers might want to check, either just to clean up the code, or to see if they missed something. These checks are normally turned off for production applications. That's why you don't see this in Einstein@Home or SETI@home apps. ____________ -- Eric Myers "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." -- William Butler Yeats | |
