Posted 2 Mar 2024 by Jean-David Beyer Post: Testing showed up some problems, that's why the Linux work has been delayed. There is alot in the pipeline, but I can't give you a date just yet. I am glad there is a lot in the pipeline for Linux work. The last work unit I got ended last June. 22318648 12138603 30 May 2023, 3:38:46 UTC 9 Jun 2023, 1:20:39 UTC Completed |

Posted 22 Feb 2024 by Jean-David Beyer Post: Yes, as I said in my earlier message. For some reason I sometimes have to try 'Add File' twice on the same file before it appears on the page. Probably a bug or McAfee being slow. Try it again, it does work. OK: I put it back and tried ten times to exclude it from scanning, but it never appeared in the list. |

Posted 22 Feb 2024 by Jean-David Beyer Post: I had a response from McAfee and they have accepted the binary file wah2_8.29_windows_intelx86.exe for whitelisting as a false positive. Hopefully this will soon propagate down to users and stop being a problem. I just updated my McAfee stuff but all seems to be the same. E.g., Version 1.14.212, etc. |

Posted 22 Feb 2024 by Jean-David Beyer Post: On my version of McAfee, the list of 'Excluded Files' is on the same settings page as 'Real time scanning'. The file list appears above the 'Add file' button. You probably can't see it because there's none added? That is probably the case. Should I put the old 'wah2_8.29_windows_intelx86.exe' file back and try again? I am keeping it in the trash bin. |

Posted 21 Feb 2024 by Jean-David Beyer Post: Hi Jean-David, I've got this working with McAfee. For reference I have: McAfee LiveSafe 1.14.212. I have what they call McAfee Advantage Individual Version 1.14.212 Build 1.1.2569.0 So it is probably like yours. Starting from scratch, that is, no wah-ri 8.29 tasks and no wah 8.29 executables in the ...../boinc/projects/climateprediction.net folder. Right now, my Windows 10 machine has No New Tasks set for climateprediction. There are also some other files in that directory with 8.29 in their names. .zip files. there was the 8.29 ,exe file, so I deleted it. There are no files in quarantine. There are four 8.24 tasks running. I do not recall that they are called wah-ri. IIRC, they are called wah2_8.29_windows_intel86..... Set 'Allow new tasks' for climateprediction.net in boincmgr. I hesitate do do this now because if I allow new CPDN tasks, I may have to wait a week or so until at least one of those 8.24 tasks finishes. Maybe if I suspend one? Open McAfee and from Home page go to 'My Protection => Real-time scanning' in the left hand bar. Make sure 'Real time scanning' is ON. It's not possible to exclude files without it on. It is ON, At the bottom of the real-time scanning window, click on 'Add file'. Navigate to the ../boinc/projects/climateprediction.net folder, select 'wah2_8.29_windows_intelx86.exe' and add it. It should then appear in the list of 'Excluded files'. I have never been able to find a list of Excluded files. Where is it? When I click Add file, a pop-up menu of files in the right directory appears. If I click on the file to be excluded, nothing happens. I can select either open or cancel. If I try open, it does not really respond. And I do not really want to open it anyway. There feels to be something wrong there. If it doesn't, do it again (for some odd reason, I find I sometimes have to do this twice). Then in boincmgr, Resume the climateprediction.net project and the task should then run fine. If boinc has already downloaded the exe file, you might find it under 'My Protection => Quarantined Files'. In which case, select it, click 'Restore'. Then as above, go to 'Real-time scanning' and 'Add' the file to the excluded list. If the boinc data directory is hidden from you to get to the exe in File explorer, turn on 'View - Show - Hidden folders'. Not a problem. Hope that gets things going for you.? |

Posted 18 Feb 2024 by Jean-David Beyer Post: With my McAfee, once I've restored the file, it does not quarantine it again. I think that's how you tell McAfee the file is trusted. That was all I had to do. OK: I told McAfee to restore the file from the quarantine. I checked and it is there where it should be, right after the 8.24 one. I then told Boinc-client to resume the process (it had never started so it is now in ready-to-start state). However, if the file is replaced again, even if it's exactly the same file, McAfee will quarantine it again. So the key is not have a task start unless the exe is restored. I have two 8.24 tasks running and one waiting to run. The 8.29 one is now waiting to start. app-config allows four climateprediction.net processes to run at a time, but my machine is busy with other Boinc tasks, so it can be a while. Boinc is allowed only 7 of my 8 cores. This is a machine that has little to do other than Boinc-client although I will be running TaxAct soon. |

Posted 18 Feb 2024 by Jean-David Beyer Post: Download a new task, then suspend either the task or all computation before it gets a chance to run. Look to see if the .exe was quarantined immediately on download. If so, restore it and use whatever tools the AV program provides to say "I trust this file". One was downloaded but not started, so I suspended it. It was not yet quarantined. There is a way to tell it not to scan a file, but I do not think it works. I can go through the motions, but it never acknowledges that it has done it. If it wasn't flagged immediately on download, look to see if the AV provides an option to scan a single file on request (most do). Scan it, and respond to any warnings/options it generates. Again, the idea it to get to the point where you can say "I trust this file". I could scan the single file, and it quarantined it right away. There is one file in the list of quarntied files-- this one. It says Item: wah2--8.29-windows-intelx8 Threat:RealProtect-L S6e9fdca5e68a Dated: 15/02/2024 12:56 PM C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\climateprediction.net/ RealProtect-L S6e9fdca5e68a I have a choice of Restore or Delete. No option to say I trust that file., If I select Restore, I can then go to where it allow me to say to not scan it, but it has no way to display a list of non-scanned files. Furthermore after I tell McAfee to not scan the file, it pretends, but does not do it; i,e,, if I scan it again, it quarantines it again. Only then allow the task to start running. I did not do this yet. |

Posted 17 Feb 2024 by Jean-David Beyer Post: To get around it, I suggest setting "no new tasks" for CPDN. Done. Suspend any current 8.29 wah, There were none. (Two 8.24 are there with time on them. One running, one waiting to run) check McAfee quarantine and restore the wah_8.29_windows_intelx86.exe file if it's been quarantined. It is there; nothing in quarantine. I probably restored it last night, time stamp is 23:56 yesterday. Then resume the tasks. Done. Check McAfee doesn't quarantine the exe again, it shouldn't do, this is how I worked around the problem when I was developing the new app. It has not quarantined it yet. We will see next time I get an 8.29 task. |

Posted 17 Feb 2024 by Jean-David Beyer Post: For McAcfee, find the menu item 'quarantined files'. The executable will be listed there: wah2_8.29_windows_intelx86.exe. Select it and click restore. Could it be that each time Boinc client downloads these tasks, it downloads a new copy of wah2_8.29_windows_intelx86.exe at the same time? In that case, McAfee will re-enable scanning of the file (new time: possibly new program) and failing it again. In that case the only way is to turn off my machine's virus protection and I do not really dare do that. BTW: BOINC version 7.24.1 for this machine. |

Posted 16 Feb 2024 by Jean-David Beyer Post: Thank you. I am using McAfee and I can exclude files, but not directories. I excluded the .exe causing the problem, but would hate to add each new one (even an update) each time. Actually, I cannot exclude the file from scanning. I follow the directions, and I get no error message, but it does not work quite right. When I select the file from the list of possibilities (the .exe file), it does not acknowledge what I did. I also cannot figure out how to find the list of excluded files. I am certain it has not worked because the next time I get f work unit it fails as soon as it starts because it is quarantined. |

Posted 16 Feb 2024 by Jean-David Beyer Post: Yes, I had this problem when I was developing the new app and regularly creating a new executable. I had to disable Real Time scanning in McAfee to be able to work. But even that is time limited to a max of 45 mins. It was a pain. I do not understand what you mean about the 45 minutes part. However, I tend to agree with their reasoning. Excluding folders is risky as they tend to get forgotten.. I agree. I've made a mental note to add a comment about antivirus systems when we release new versions in the future Good idea: I am sure to forget. |
