	Over this past weekend we had an disk issue (unrelated to the new servers) which hampered workunit creation. We back to full production at this point, though due to high demand it might be a while until your clients receive new work. ____________ -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea.

	Well..... Thanks for letting us know, Matt. Not what the kitties wanted to hear, as at least my 2 best rigs have run out of work. But, we'll leave them online sniffing for whatever you can send their way. Meow meow. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you. Ask what you can do for your kitty."

	A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Now we have 2 new servers, other parts of the system are getting stressed. This will change again when the 3rd new server arrives, as the next less reliable bit falls over.

	Hello; I was just wondering if the servers were down? I have been able to do any computing in the last few days. Says no work is available. From what I've read, it sounds like this is only temporary? Thanks :) ____________ "If I have seen further than other men, it's because I have stood on the shoulders of giants."

	Wednesday and all the splitters are down yet everything else is working; the original problem in this thread was solved days ago. One host is about to run out of work again.

Please check your systems. I stop further download. fred It's highly unlikely that, with a hundred thousand users or more, and applications which have remained on secure servers since they were released in August 2008, that you computer is the first and (so far as I know) only computer to have detected this virus. It's likely to be a false positive: but you are quite right to take all virus warnings seriously. The usual advice is to submit an program you are unsure about to the multi-vendor testing site at http://www.virustotal.com/. This will independently test the file against multiple antivirus engines, with detailed results from each antivirus engine. If you are still worried after doing this, please post again.
