Today, my Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 prevent read my WebMoney coockie file from personal coockies folder IE8.

KIS2010 has given out the message:
MILKYWAY_NBODY_0.03_WINDOWS_X86_64.EXE attepmt to read protected file in group 'Personal Data'.
File:
D:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies\Low\user@webmoney[1].txt
Sequence of start:
Run Once Wrapper > BOINC Manager for Windows > BOINC Client

D:\ProgramData\BOINC\PROJECTS\MILKYWAY.CS.RPI.EDU_MILKYWAY\MILKYWAY_NBODY_0.03_WINDOWS_X86_64.EXE 3820 projects/milkyway.cs.rpi.edu_milkyway/milkyway_nbody_0.03_windows_x86_64.exe -f json_parameters.txt -h histogram.txt --seed 634624 -np 4 -p 21.0507342998150050000000000 0.2329108663577818500000000 3.9518472752025870000000000 3.8717080194641730000000000

WHAT IS IT ?!!!!!

I have suspended participation in project before finding-out of the reasons

Anti-virus and anti-spyware software are always coming up with wrong info on the applications, they are not spyware or virus.

Your best bet is to exclude the BOINC Data folder from scans as the scans can cause application crashes.

This happens with newer programs.

Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?
If it makes sense, DON'T do it.

IMHO, arkayn, you wrong

In this case it's not mistake response on spyware signature.
I running untrusted application in sandsink of KIS2010 and BIONC Manager has been started also. KIS2010 sandsink hook syscals and watch to action of applications.

P.S. MILKYWAY_NBODY_0.03_WINDOWS_X86_64.EXE has been last automatically update at 2010-08-19

Antivirus programs aren't that smart. I actually think this is pretty funny. I've never written malware before! I've reported it as a false positive to Kaspersky.

All of the code is here if you really want to check for yourself http://github.com/Milkyway-at-home/milkywayathome_client

I'm also not getting any warnings from Kaspersky when I try.

The Kaspersky people responded:

Hello,

We were unable to reproduce the detection.
Please update your antivirus bases.
If the problem persists, please send a screenshot of detection.

Please quote all when answering.

Please, those who doesn't know how to anti-virus products work and don't understand a difference between the anti-virus monitor and the control application monitor, don't flood here.

Question to code experts:
Whether it is possible, what someone uses the MILKYWAY_NBODY_0.03_WINDOWS_X86_64 as backdoor?

Thnx, Matt!

I will necessarily communicate with experts in safety of Kaspersky Lab and I will send them alarm screenshot & log file.

PC Tools, Avast and Avira didnt detect anything.

Once again I repeat - don't confuse the anti-virus monitor to the control application monitor.

You are just assuming that we didnt do a full system scan on our PCs. I even tried the online scanner of Bitdefender. MBAM also didnt detect anything.

Haris, are you really don't understand about what speech or are you scoff?

Fine. You want a reply? It's the way the json handler scans your appdata folder for relevant pieces of the app and data. There's your answer. If you weren't so busy arguing semantics and being generally obtuse, you could have looked through the github repo and found that information in the source code.

Really? Therefore subj attempt to read not to something, but namely to cookie file of WebMoney??? LOL!
I have no time and desire to investigate a project code on vulnerability

Smells like you got caught by a Trojan ... ZBOT variant from 1 or 2 month ago?

Advice 1: Full system scan with more than 1 AV tool and check for rootkits too

Advice 2: Change your browser (IE8) and email program to a more secure one.

Ah, good 'ol Zbot.
