I don't imagine this happens all that often, and I suppose this is most likely a false positive, but thought I would post to pass along the info:

The AT&T Internet Security Suite powered by McAfee
reported the following:
McAfee has automatically blocked and removed a Trojan.

About this Trojan
Detected: Artemis!C85FB5F93D9A (Trojan), Artemis!C85FB5F93D9A (Trojan)
Location: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC\projects\www.primegrid.com\primegrid_llr_wrapper_5.09_windows_intelx86.exe


Has anyone else gotten this or similar from the same or other AntiAV systems?
This is the first time I've experienced any BOINC app has been identified as such.

Boinc shows this as "Download Failed', which makes total sense. For now I'm moving on to other WUs.

I had the same thing tonight using the AT&T Internet Security Suite powered by McAfee. I unatached and reatached to the project and it is going correct now.

Ahh. I had wondered why my computer was suddenly killing off tasks. I just told McAfee to restore the quarantined files instead of detaching/reattaching, so we'll see if that works. I'd change AV's, but most of the other ones available only make things worse on my system. :(

Yeah, I just wrote a post on this a few days ago.

It's happening to me now, too, with McAfee from Comcast. It looks like it started happening with the new signature file that came out at around 1 AM EDT today. I'll switch to AP26 until it gets cleared up.

Have been getting the trojan alert for the past couple of days now, but this morning was the first time the alert message stayed up long enough for me to read it completely.

Yes it is Artemis and then the downloads fail.

AP26 Search and Sophie Germain Prime Search are fine. It is the third sub project I'm signed up for, Proth Prime Search that McAfee is have a fit over.

Will try the suggestion of a detaching and reattaching to project.

Edit : Tired detaching and reattaching to project. The first unit the client tried to download was a PPS and the Trojan alert was triggered and the download failed. Am going to go to preferrences and stop crunching PPS for a while to see if this gets cleared up.

Edit #2 : Now the AV is triggered by the Sophie Germain units and their downloads are failing.

Hey guys. I just spent the last half an hour talking with the McAfee service reps to get this thing sorted out. Once I get a copy of all the files that are falsely triggering a positive and send it to them, they said they'll try and get the stuff de-listed. I'll update you when I know more.

[edit] *Update: I've submitted both llr wrappers 5.09 and 5.10 to McAfee so they can get this fixed. Hopefully I'll hear back from them soon. [/edit]

I noticed yesterday I had 27 tasks arriving at the same time (very high amount than the usual 2 or 3) and only 8 arrived correctly as the other 19 should the same virus on macafee

Two days ago the detach and reatach worked. Today this hit all three systems and that dues not work. Will have to look into that more.

I too have submitted the following files to mcafee's Avert (webimmune.net)

primegrid_llr_wrapper_5.09_windows_intelx86.exe
primegrid_llr_wrapper_5.10_windows_intelx86.exe
primegrid_psp_sr2sieve_wrapper_1.11_windows_intelx86.exe
primegrid_sr2sieve_wrapper_1.11_windows_intelx86.exe

as all four of these have been triggering alerts for me.
web immune case numbers (Analysis Numbers) are:
5521053:primegrid_llr_wrapper_5.09_windows_intelx86.exe
5521061:primegrid_llr_wrapper_5.10_windows_intelx86.exe
5521066:primegrid_psp_sr2sieve_wrapper_1.11_windows_intelx86.exe
5521079:primegrid_sr2sieve_wrapper_1.11_windows_intelx86.exe

I hope this helps...

The solution is simple, make an exception for the entire boinc-folder(s) and all should be fine.

I tried again this morning and was able to download PPS and SGS LLR work. It looks like Mcafee has finally analyzed the submitted files and updated their DB to mark it as not a virus.

Actually, we have released updated versions of the applications, with hopes that updated code will go through McAfee this time. They haven't done a thing to whitelist this false positive :(
