No new work, no credit for old work.
When I downloaded your program it had spyware and adware on it which proved a nightmare to remove.
Please check this out and clean your program. There is NO excuse for that!!!!!
Your servers not functioning.
Today, additionally error 113 showed up - whatever that is.
Regular setiathome works just fine.
What is wrong??????

Question concerning adware and spyware.

From where did you download the core client?
I'm using Norton Antivirus as well as Ad-Aware, all with the latest definitions. I had no problem with it. Also never heard about this problem.
How did you discovered spy or adware?

A remark: it looks like you have 3 PC's with the same configuration. Could it be they are the same? If it is, before you do anything else, go to "Your Account" and merge the 3 to one.

Greetings from Belgium.

BOINC does not contain any adware or spyware. You got it from somewhere else.

And you should be able to get some/return some work now... (unless of course you've got a trojan mucking things up)
