Best put the BOINC data directory and everything in it in the exclusion zone in your anti virus program, so that it isn't automatically scanned. Also, from Panda Security: If you trust the application and decide to exclude it, please send us a message through the Contact menu to add it as a trusted application on our Collective Intelligence database in case of a false positive.

The correct question is "What is going on with Panda (any Antivirus)?" The file is this (your filename is wrong, I can't imagine you typed it all?!): http://boinc2.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah/download_fanout/setiathome_8.19_windows_intelx86__opencl_nvidia_SoG.exe The file is new (made ready for Download from SETI@home servers on 12 Oct 2016, 0:17:28 UTC): http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/apps.php ... so some Antiviruses are just by default suspicious for "new files / not commonly Downloaded files" Scan by 55 Antiviruses: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/be68135f679d17af067cb9621b52adf66c5ffa1fa4edbfbf05aa282579a62eaa/analysis/   - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)   ID: 1824074 ·
