WTF.....Folding@home on my pc

[RCN]

My hard drive has been steadily working lately so I thought I would clean things up. In the registry I found a folding@home folder which I deleted. I did a search for 'folding' on the PC and find this

With zero credits it's gotta be relatively recent. You should be able to figure it out. Who's been at your computer?

seems like folding@home is a project on distributed computing at SU.

Folding@Home is a distributed computing project that calculates all sorts of funky protein folding stuff (I don't really understand, Biology > Me) but the outcome will hopefully be cures to some nasty illnesses, including cancer.
