SETI BOINC Question.

My progress on work units crunched by BOINC seems to be very slow. Are these WUs just really big or what?

Also, I have contracted the Hidrag virus. Does anyone know how to get rid of it for good? I deleted the registry key, and I can't delete svchost.exe or it shuts down the computer. I'm using the free AVG software, and it says files infected with hidrag cannot be healed.

I know hidrag doesn't really do anything, but could it somehow be slowing down my computer?

Thanks,

The latest version of Seti has debugging code in it, so the workunits will take much longer to complete. How did you get this virus? I couldn't find anything about this virus on symantec's site or AVG's site.

I havent finished one yet and its going 25 hours. Its crazy slow.

Mine started out as being about 3hrs to comple, right now I'm around 23hrs. Me no Understandee!!!!!!

Anybody that has had BOINC running for some time now have any answers????

XN?????

When I had BOINC running, it took a while to finish due to the debugging code in Seti@home v2.25.
