Yes, or similar false positive.

I suffered this yesterday. On checking my list of exceptions I noticed that the BOINC data directory had vanished (two computers) or had lost the full list of exceptions, with only a shortened list left.
Sorted now.....Until the next time.

Ah, I was not able to find the description of that "virus." Now I gather it's the behavior based instead of signature based. Thanks for the reference, I'll add the exception. Google didn't have that post yet. I should have searched the forum deeper.
