I downloaded and installed the new Boinc_7.6.33_Windows_X86_64.exe on 15-Dec-16 My SETI projects are now suspended and I cannot restart them because the resume control is grayed out. Any advice?

I assume you have actually clicked on "SETI@Home" under project.

It is not selected automatically.

I just found out how stupid one can be! Many thanks.

Tried to install BOINC 7.6.33 and get an error that it can't find "directory: 1", says it can't complete the installation and aborts. What am I missing?

Downloaded BOINC update 7.6.33 and Norton deleted it as unsafe! Is there an issue with this version of BOINC ??

I'd delete Norton as being unsafe, but that's me.

Same problem

Additional detail on my previous post : Norton reported that BOINC Ver 7.6.33 contains WS.Reputation.1 and is unsafe. The install file was deleted by Norton.

Basically that means it hasn't been downloaded enough to gain a reputation as a "safe" download.

Since clicking the link to the solution given by Norton that I gave is apparently too scary:

My Norton product alerts that the file I downloaded is not safe, and deletes it

This issue can happen if the file that you have downloaded is considered as unsafe due to its poor reputation. The Download Insight feature in your Norton product provides the reputation information of any executable file that you download from the Internet, and takes action based on its trust level. The reputation details indicate whether the downloaded file is safe to run on your computer.

By default, Download Insight lets you install any safe files. In case of an unsafe file, Download Insight informs you that the Norton product has detected the file as a threat and has removed it. For the files of unknown reputation levels, Download Insight prompts you to select an action that you want to perform on the file.

If you want to download a file that you know is safe, but Norton deletes it due to its poor reputation, temporarily turn off the Download Intelligence feature to allow the download. Make sure that the feature is turned back on after you download the file.

Turn off Download Intelligence

    Start your Norton product.

    Click Settings.

    In the Detailed Settings window, click Firewall.

    On the Intrusion and Browser Protection tab, next to Download Intelligence, move the slider to the right to turn Off the feature.

    In the Settings window, click Apply.

    In the Security Request dialog box, from the drop-down list, select the duration to turn off Download Insight for, and then click OK.

    Click OK.

If you are certain that the file is good, then you can exclude the files or folders from being scanned.
Exclude files or folders from scan

    Start your Norton product.

    Click Settings.

    In the Detailed Settings window, click Antivirus.

    On the Scan and Risks tab, next to Items to Exclude from Auto-Protect, SONAR and Download Intelligence Detection, click Configure [+].

    In the Real Time Exclusions window, click Add Files or Add Folders.

    In the Add Item window, browse for the file or folder, and click OK.

    Click Apply and OK.

If you are certain the file is not a threat, then you can submit the file as a false positive detection to Symantec. Before submitting a false positive, make sure that your Norton product has the latest definition updates. Run LiveUpdate to install all the available updates for your Norton product. If the false positive still occurs with the latest definitions, report it to Symantec. The link to submit a false positive differs based on the exact detection, or the alert you receive.

Report a Suspected Erroneous Detection (False Positive).
