RE: Sweetie, I don't know

Sweetie, I don't know where your "drop box" is, and in fact, this is the first I've heard of it, or anyone's.

Also, I don't even have a project folder.

I hope this is "kid" friendly like the instuctions request... ;)

I see ...
OK, it might be easier to ask a friend, a teammember or someone near you for help. It looks like direct acces to keyboard and mouse are necessary to fix your problem.

Good luck!

EINSTEIN.PHYS.UWM.edu\einstein_S6BuckettLVE_l.04_Windows_intelx86_SSE2.exe.

That's the name of the file they are questioning. I think they'll let it go if I get an okay from you guys. I'd hate to lose all my points.


OK, I think I know the file that AVG is questioning. Try

http://einstein2.aei.uni-hannover.de/download/einstein_S6BucketLVE_1.04_windows_intelx86__SSE2.exe

- slight difference from what you typed (one 't' in bucket, and a double underscore before SSE2), but it downloaded OK. I'll send it off to VirusTotal now.

Edit: this analysis from VirusTotal is good enough for me: I think it is safe for you to download the file, and tell AVG it's a false alarm.

Everything (almost) seems

Everything (almost) seems fine - sent remarks to your "drop box."

Thanks for everything, everybody who helped or tried to - very much appreciated.

PS Wouldn't it be a blast if my virus took down the whole operation?

I deleted one of the icons

I deleted one of the icons for GR and the one that remained didn't work right, I forget why, but it didn't, so I deleted it too. So I went to the START menu, found Programs, clicked BOINC, Grid Republic was listed and I clicked it. That gave me a whole new icon for GR that works just dandy.

If anyone accidentally is dumb enough to delete their icon, it can easily be replaced with a click from the Start menu.

Many many thanks...
