Has anyone had anything like this before? My avast! anti-virus program has just popped up a virus warning from a Folding unit.

File name: C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\work\wudata_09.chk
Malware name: Nutcracker family
Malware type: Virus/Worm
VPS version: 0548-0, 11/29/2005

I've moved the file to the virus chest.

Move that file back unless your WU has already early ended.

From the folding forums.

Thanks for link, Dags. The Folding WU still seems to be running okay so I might leave things as they are and see what happens.

Thought I'd run the Symantec online Virus Detection and it's picked up 9 suspicious things so far, but I'll have to wait for it to finish to see what they are. Rolling Eyes Don't ya just love the internet. Laughing
