Topic 208157
(moderation:
Last night a new type of work was downloaded -- some output from my event log is attached below.
As soon as it attempted to run my Avast Virus checker reported a virus in the object. all 25 work units of this type failed with a computation error with run time ranging from 0 seconds through to about 7 minutes. The system is continually trying to download more units of this type but failing download

Topically, this would fit

Topically, this would fit better on the Problems and Bug Reports forum than here in the cafe.
On your account it would appear that at first face AVAST is generating a false positive from something in this work. You may wish to report that to AVAST, as it is one of the ways a virus tool improves.
As you currently can't run this work on this system, you should turn off acceptance of this type of work in your project preferences specific to the location (aka venue) assigned to this host.
