My system has started reporting that the setup program for BoincTasks contains adware, specifically Win.Adware.Eorezo-528. This has only recently started occurring.

Virustotal confirms that it's only ClamAV that is reporting this:

Looks like a false positive. However, ClamAV can and is used as a virus scanner in some proxy solutions. Indeed it works well with Squid. The result being that the BoincTasks application could be getting blocked by proxies before it gets chance to be blocked by Clam running on a desktop system.

Questions / High CPU utilisation
December 02, 2013, 09:46:59 AM
I am running BoincTasks with Wine on Ubuntu Precise. I don't currently have a Windows machine to compare as Windows 7 borked. The machine is dual core.

BoincTasks runs at around 60% CPU which is excessive. Is this due to Wine (wineserver runs at around 10%) or is this due to the application itself?

TIA
