1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Visual Fortran Runtime error (Message 53076) Posted 12 Dec 2015 by Davissimo Post: It seems climateprediction is a bit too fragile. An application was running for almost a week then Microsoft updates arrived requiring a restart. CliPred was suspended first then the restart done. The fortran error began occurring once the system was back up. I had to abort the task. Perhaps I might try another task but these problems are discouraging and I don't want to waste good tasks. I am using Windows 10 and Kaspersky internet security. Are these a problem currently?
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Norton 2009/Norton Sonar Alert (Message 35679) Posted 13 Dec 2008 by Davissimo Post: After many attempts to get help from Norton to exclude my climatepredicton from their SONAR I have finally decided to exclude Norton. Basically they continually sent the same instructions on how to exclude. After following the instructions and trying again, SONAR once more zapped my climateprediction. Although it is more important to have a well protected computer than to run climatepredition, I was frustrated by their unwillingness to listen. I am now running something called \"Fix-it Utilities 8\" from a company called Avanquest. So far all seems to be fine. Does anyone have additional information about this product?
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Norton 2009/Norton Sonar Alert (Message 35200) Posted 8 Oct 2008 by Davissimo Post: Just today (Oct 8) I downloaded a new version of my Norton virus protection software. It was for 2009 and appeared to be a significant improvement. One of its features is called \"Sonar\" and I believe it goes after spyware. However I had the disagreeable experience of seeing it cancel my climateprediction task without giving me the option of excluding it (as Webroot does). Oddly my SETI task was unaffected. Of course, I don\'t know how other BOINC tasks will be treated. I have already sent feedback to Norton but have no idea if or how they\'ll respond. It does not seem that this is something that would effect only me. The thought occurs that all users of Norton who do climateprediction could be equally troubled. Should somebody change their software? But before I jump to conclusions, it\'s obvious that climateprediction needed to be alerted.
