I just had SciLINC try to ASSIMILATE my computer!!
I was just poking around, looking at stats and smurfing the interweb...when I noticed that I had not checked for SciLINC wu's in a few dayz. So I did. Holy Crap!! It started downloading ok, but then I noticed it was trying to download about a gazillion 3k files!!
My BOINC manager went unresponsive (5.8.16) and jerky. I shut it down a few times, and un-installed it.
(My next thought was to find the chainsaw, and watch out for little green critters.....)
I finally got it to respond to the 'Detach' button. After that everything was ok.
Nice Project... ...(jerks)
