What is the interest in me releasing this to the public? It would just take a little more work, I'd have to rename it (Boinc-Jack isn't the best name :)) and such... Any questions on how it works? It should recognize all BOINC projects in the official list as of December 08... ID: 23475 ·

A very good start would be to tell us what it does? What is it for? Where is it for? Why would i use it? And i personally think that "BOINC-Jack" is a great name!

When a task is being worked on, the bar is green, when it is not, the bar is red. It is mostly just for fun for those people that like to see some sort of progress is actually being made by their computer. jack ID: 23525 ·

Can someone else check it with a different antivirus to see if it continues to be flagged? ID: 26002 ·
