To say "piggyback", you imply that we are sharing our band width, or we are physically sharing our CPU. That is a misconception. We d/l a small, highly compressed file, it runs on our pc, without an internet, and "folds" the proteins. When it has finished, we then connect to the internet and upload the results and d/l another, and so on. I'm as sure as you are, that my firewalls stops them from gaining access to my pc.
