Hello crunchers,

I finally know why my files won't upload. F-secure is the trouble-maker.
When I remove it the files to LHC upload imediately. When installing it new everything works fine, with F-secure. Then f-secure want to do an update, it does the update, and then it is trouble again.

Strange thing is that Einstein@home works all the time f-secure or not, new or old version.

Has anyone else the same experience? And does anyone to know how to solve this?
I can buy McAfee as that worked for years trouble free, but I get f-secure for free with my internet-connection from my provider.

Thanks for the help.

Greetings from,
TJ

You should be able to set the BOINC directory to be ignored from real time scan.

e.g. for MSE it's here:

Thanks Toby,

I have tried that but it is not working. I have also tried to turn the firewall (f-secure) off and that doesn't work either.
Only complete removing f-secure does the trick but that is not a good option.

I thought it was an anti-virus problem from your inital message.

You should be able to allow BOINC to some sort of ignore list.

I don't see that there is any difference between allowing something and un-installing it.

Try rasing a support ticket with f-secure, it's a strange problem, somehow there software is blocking when is shouldn't.
