False Positive: Win32/Bulta!rfn
Microsoft recently added a check for the Win32/Bulta!rfn trojan virus to Microsoft Security Essentials. Unfortunately, the footprint they use to check for the virus matches that of the mini amd gpu app. The app is NOT infected though. They are just using too short a foot print. It is no different than trying to find this web site by searching Google but only entering "Collatz" as the search criteria. You would get a lot of links as matches but only one is the real thing. The anti-virus software searches executable applications looking for viruses but if the search string is too short, they get a false positive. Until Microsoft fixes it (if ever) you may a) ignore it (but you won't be able to run mini WUs)b) choose another app such as the solo_collatz app in your preferences insteadc) exclude the c:\program data\boinc folder from being checked.
