Hi
I have found that I am getting a virus called TR/Dldr.keenval.E from the info comming from the SETI screesaver. Now I have a great antivirus program. But almost everytime I let seti run on my machine, it tries to give me this trojan horse. Nuisance. Others might not be so lucky as to have an antivirus program.Please lookinto this.Thanks.

Hi
I recently installed an antispyware program, and even after telling the program it was OK that BOINC get the information it needs to drive the SETI at home screensaver, it still blocked it. So I took off the spyware program and tryed again. Now the screensaver will not work- it kept telling me to launch BOINC, but it would not launch no matter what I tried. So I tried taking BOINC off my computer completly, and re-installing it. Still, the control panel tells me the screensaver does not exist. After searching my computer, I could not find an executive for the program. Help me to reload BOINC and the SETI screesaver- I would like to crunch many more hours for SETI. In replying, try to keep in mind I am a bit of a computer nit wit- keep it SIMPLE.
