Reading up; Folding at Home does not support Corona Virus 19.

One down load is Foldingathomeapp.exe

It is Trojan called Red line Stealer.

Deaf, please read this entire article from Bleeping Computer:

It should also be noted that Folding@home is a terrific project and just because people are performing scams in their name, does not mean it should be avoided.

Just be sure to download the Folding@home client only from the legitimate site.

Just because a couple of scammers are sending out an email using their good name does not mean the project is bad, anymore than a scammer impersonating Bank of America for fraud means that the bank is personally responsible for that fraud. Just use the real site:
