AnyWAY...
When I install FAH Client I add an exception in the antivirus for the folders it uses.
Are we supposed to do the same for the Boinc Manager?

I ask cause it just suddenly occurred to me, that maybe I should...thoughts? Knowledge?
Whatever works for you...lol

I don't seem to need to do that for either. If the AV program is not bothering folding or crunching why bother?

No...
FAH it is to be exempted..
This I know or it COULD cause errors in results, that don't show as errors but change the results..alter answers
which affects research
Kapish?
Read it in the Folding forum years ago
bill1024 you should be, for folding definitely!

Last paragraph on the link above and more strongly worded at the FAH forum
We suggest configuring antivirus software to exclude the FAH client directory and especially the Work directory from the antivirus scanning list. This can be done by going into the exclusion list panel that every antivirus should have. The work subdirectory contains semi-random binary data and can confuse overly aggressive heuristic virus scanning.

Interesting, they do suggest and don't say you must. And they say it can and not it always will. IA little too muck OC and a task fails I have a hard time believing it can fail from AV and not throw an error.
But either way I do not run any antivirus in Linux and Linux is all I fold with. Plus I hardly ever fold anymore anyway.
From what I understand any work unit I turn in today will not even be looked at for another 20 to 25 years they are so far ahead not expecting all the hardware thrown at it.
It is  student run program at a college and computers go offline on a weekend and stay off until the students come in on Monday. In the Summer, fugitaboutit.
BOINC I use Linux and windows, and with windows just what ever MS gives us for free. Not sure if there even is any settings.
I say don't worry about it in BOINC as do as you see fit in folding.  Kapish?

It was more of a question concerning Boinc since it is an expected procedure in folding....

Thanks Bill. 

Just had a thought..
I have a few 2060's that I was considering setting up in a computer to do crunching..
When you turn the option to GPU always...is gpu crunching local only? ....or does it affect your global (all machine) web preferences?

If you're referring to the BOINC Manager option under "Activity -> Use GPU always", then this is specific to your locally running BOINC client only.
