?? Folding @ Home = Virus ??

[salamanzer]

Hey - have any of you "folders" seen this before ??

file name: C:\Program Files (x86)\Folding@Home\work\wudata_02.chk
malware name: Nutcracker family
malware type: Virus/Worm

My avast! virus program is reporting the file above as a virus? Do you think this is possible ?

Its probably a false positive. I would email Avast and let them know.

Indeed I think it is a false positive.
I have a file called Folding@Home\work\wudata_00.chk and its not picked up by my virus scanner.

Apparantly they are recovered file fragments.

I will get onto avast! and let them know :)

I didnt think the nice people at F@H would be handing out viruses :)
