We have some super hero folding freepers who have more than 20 CPUs churning. Our current champion is Klutz_dohanger with over 300 CPUs! And, we have many side kicks with only 1 CPU! All are welcomed and needed. Currently, we have nearly 300 members. I joined two weeks ago and because I am blessed with a handful of computers, I am approaching the top 100 of our team. That is my immediate goal. I don't see ever getting close to our top 10 members, but I can dream :-)

Come join us, help humanity and learn more about computers. Many of the members are very helpful, and I have learned a lot in a few weeks.

Hey you didn't mention how we are clobbering the DUmmies' folding 'team' while helping mankind. What a combo!

If you concerned about security, the risk is near zero.

The software uses very little memory and only takes CPU cycles when nothing else is using them. You'll probably never know it's running, other than the times you check on it (which if you're like me is pretty often).

I'd be happy to help out and usually have both bandwidth and processor cycles to spare but I'm leery of potential spyware. Does anybody know for sure if this is safe? I got infected once and have been very paranoid since. I know that the Google toolbar is spyware. You can actually find this out by Googling it.

Whyn would anyone in their right mind do any business with Google? What kind of "do no evil" company do you think this is? I suggest you adress this and not pretend that these concerns are not legitimate.

And they give you your very own trojan horse for absolutely no extra charge. No thanks.

I loaded this but inadvertently did not type in the group number. Now it is running and I am unable to find a spot to edit it.

Help!
