There have been reports (especially at Einstein) of AV causing apps to fail with "Too many exit(0)s" and zero runtime - in which case, the apps probably never make it as far as memory in the first place.
I think this is mainly the sort of heuristic scanner which, if it finds suspicious behaviour (intensive CPU activity, network communications, no user interactive window...) requires the user to approve the app before it first runs - and if the user is asleep in bed at the time, the app gets quarantined. If this sort of thing is going on on one core, other projects on other cores are going to end up being suspended by a CC shutdown. > I'm confused. > Do the BOINC apps remain in memory while AV is running? > Virus checkers typically run when an app is started, > not when it's suspended/resumed. > > [email protected] wrote: >> Maybe that will work.
